Creating art is one of my favorite hobbies. It is also a great way to express myself. I have been drawing since Kindergarten and improved my skills a lot. Art makes me relax a bit and distracts me from feeling down at times. I have also used my talent many times for art contests and won several awards. The biggest of all was when I won Doodle 4 Google back in May 2019. I represented the state of Maine for the national competition so it was a massive deal for me. It was a lot to take in emotionally but truly one of the best moments of my life. It showed me that I have the potential to do even more in the future. It paved my way to widen my art skills and improve more for the best. Nowadays, I love to draw on my tablet , creating more digital art drawings and artworks.

Traveling is also something I truly love to do with my family. We love to go places we've never been to before so we can have ourselves a quality time. Sometimes we will travel the same places that we love traveling to, like Canada for example, whether it's Quebec or visiting families in Toronto. Regardless, it's usually treated as a step back from life, and we do our best to live every single moment of it. 

One of my favorite things to do with my mom, is doing morning walks at the beach, where we see clams or shells that were washed off by the shore after big storms, watch flying seagulls who enjoys eating crabs or clams, watch people surfing while there are big waves, and people fishing while we walk along the shore. And best best of all , watching the sun rise during some of our early morning walks is so much fun.
