One of my favorite things to do when I want to have fun is spend time with family and friends. Whether this means playing a board game with my sister and parents, or going on a walk with my friends, I know I’m having fun when I’m spending time with the people I love.
I've been reading since I was young, although not as much now as before. It is so easy to get lost in a good book, and I usually can’t put it down after that until I’m done with the book, or even the entire series. One of my favorite memories is when I went camping and my friend and I read together in a hammock. I almost always read fiction, and my favorite genres are fantasy and thriller. Although I read for fun, I believe it has taught me one of the best skills I have: empathy. When reading, I read from the perspective of the character, and understand what they are going through, and I’ve read so many books with so many different perspectives and circumstances. This has really taught me to look at things from different angles and try to understand where the other person is coming from.
I’m grateful to have gotten the opportunity to travel as much as I have in my life. I really enjoy traveling. I’ve traveled to 5 different countries, and several states in America. One of my favorite trips was our cruise trip, where we visited San Diego, and then two cities in Mexico. Both the cruise and the cities I visited were very fun. When traveling, I enjoy exploring new cities and trying new foods and experiences. Another one of my favorite travel experiences is my travel to Anaheim, California and Orlando, Florida through DECA.
