Affiliations

  • In the summer of 2025, I took care of my grandmother all throughout the week due to her failure to properly take care of herself. I would cook, clean, do the dishes, do her laundry and bed sheets. Although this was quite time consuming at times, I found joy in it though because it meant that I would be spending time with her.
  • I constantly go to the gym and maintain a routine. I have no specific time but I go atleast 5 times throughout the week.
  • I like being active and constantly doing something. It makes me feel motivated. I don't like taking time to sit around and do absolutely nothing.
