Reading, Writing and Playing basketball

I have a strong passion for reading, which allows me to continuously expand my knowledge and understanding of diverse perspectives. I enjoy exploring various genres, from fiction to educational literature, as it enhances my critical thinking and comprehension skills. Writing is another significant interest of mine; I enjoy crafting stories and essays which helps me articulate my thoughts clearly and creatively. Additionally, basketball has been a vital part of my life, teaching me the importance of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. Engaging in this sport not only keeps me physically active but also fosters my ability to connect with others and work collaboratively towards common goals. 

Interests

I enjoy cooking because it activates my love of science and eating, its also the easiest way to bring my favorite people together. I also really enjoy walking, it's both physically and mentally relaxing for me to walk often whether I am alone or with friends and family.
