I enjoy soccer as it is a way to maintain my physical health, work on my coordination skills, and foster social connections. Poetry and writing helps me articulate my thoughts, hone and improve the power of my imagination, and is also a therapeutic exercise for my mental clarity. Diving into books really works to expand my knowledge, and improves both my vocabulary and focus. For me, singing is my all time favorite hobby to engage in with the children in my life. It is a joyful expression of creativity and emotion. I use it as a tool for calming if the child is overstimulated also as a means to enhance the child's mood and/or reduce stress. I enjoy cooking because it is interactive; something that I have be doing with my mom since I was a small child. It's another way to bond and grow my creativity. Tasting what I have creative at the end is the greatest reward.
