Music
I am passionate about exploring diverse music genres as a hobby, finding joy in discovering new rhythms and melodies across different cultures and eras. This hobby fuels my desire to integrate music into future classroom settings, aiming to create engaging and inclusive learning environments.

Through my hobby, I seek to cultivate a classroom atmosphere where students can connect with music's universal language, enriching their educational experience and broadening their perspectives.
