HOBBIES


One of my favorite hobbies is hiking. It allows me to challenge myself physically while planning and navigating, which has honed my organizational and problem-solving skills. I also enjoy puzzles, which encourages creativity and attention to detail, especially when trying out harder tasks. Another hobby of mine is community volunteering. For example, I’ve participated in projects that involved mobilizing people for health initiatives, which helped me develop teamwork and leadership skills. I believe these hobbies reflect my adventurous spirit, creativity, and commitment to continuous growth.
