• One of my hobbies is snowboarding in the wintertime. Snowboarding makes me feel good about myself although I do not compete, I just do it for fun. I am decent at snowboarding, my dad taught me when I was6 years old and I have gone ever since. Snowboarding is another addition to my social life because it allows me to meet new people and bond with some of my friends who snowboard. I am willing to go on the ski trip one school year if the program runs next year.
• Another hobby that I enjoy is working out. When I work out, it makes me feel good because it proves to me how strong I am. My workout buddy and I tend to go to the gym every other morning at 5 am before school. I am excited to see my results from the gym and see them relate to my athletics.
