Reading, Bowling, Car Machanic
Whenever I have free time, I enjoy immersing myself in reading. I usually opt for books, whether it's fiction or non-fiction, to quench my thirst for knowledge and entertainment.
I've been involved in bowling for about a year and a half and have acquired valuable skills to excel in the sport. My childhood friends and I love competing in a league, aiming to have fun and win prizes.
During my time in high school, I enrolled in a Jump Start career program where I delved into the world of automotive. I learned valuable skills in fixing and repairing cars, gaining a wealth of knowledge along the way. This experience has empowered me to confidently work on and fix my own car.
