Gardening is a hobby that allow me to feel free. I am very passionate about preparing meals. I often lead culinary events for my family and friends. I enjoy volunteer work because it is a way for me to give back to my community. It also gives me a chance to help others. I also enjoy reading because it helps build my vocabulary and knowledge.
