Traveling
Traveling has also been among my favorite hobbies. This is
mainly due to the new experiences which I gain from traveling. I can
also gain many different perspectives on the world while also
immersing in other cultures. Some of my favorite places that I have
traveled are the United Arab Emirates, Aruba, and India. Each of
of these countries are unique in their own way as the UAE is very advanced in terms
of modernization, Aruba is an awesome getaway destination, and
India has a set of very unique cultures. I also learn a lot about other countries while not traveling to them by using the CIA World Factbook.
Science Bowl has been one of my favorite hobbies as I love
competing with other people and enjoying doing science with my
friends. I was the captain of the freshman team at my sending school
and hope to continue the passion at another school. Every year our
team competed at the National Science Bowl of which the regional round
took place at the University of Connecticut. Science Bowl also
involves most of my favorite subjects including Biology, Math,
Chemistry, and Physics.
The National Science Bowl
I have done most of my community service hours at my temple in Lowell, Massachusetts, which is part of the International Swaminarayan Satsang Organization. As part of this community service experience, I have participated in various activities which have allowed me to connect with the community at my temple and its surrounding areas. These experiences include serving food at large events/feasts, cleaning up and setting up for large events, helping teach cultural classes, and even serving as a guide during various annual medical camps offered by the temple. Each one of these experiences has allowed me to gain a larger footing in my community service experience and has also helped me develop various practical, real-life skills.
