RENOS EVANGELAKIS
GRADUATE OF THE SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE, AUTHOR OF THE AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL BOOK *"LIKE A NIGHTMARE."*
In 2010, one week after his 18th birthday, Renos was involved in a traffic collision. He was the passenger. His condition was critical, with a 50% chance of survival, and even if he survived, no one knew what his life would be like afterward. He is proud to have defied every medical "rule." Initially in a comatose state, then in a wheelchair, he underwent numerous walking exercises, muscle-strengthening equipment, and many hours of daily rehabilitation. In 2012, he enrolled in the School of Architecture at the University of Cyprus, and despite many challenges, graduated in 2018. He now enjoys his "new" self. He took pleasure in rehabilitation, exercise, and any form of physical activity. In 2023, his autobiographical book titled *"Like a Nightmare"* was published. His life goal is to help young people with similar experiences believe in their own strength and, through his story, give them the motivation they need to push themselves forward.
