    📘 Child Development
    🎓 First Year

    First off, I love playing volleyball. Tennis is another sport that I love (not really good at but I’m trying my best to improve) and I’m also really into pickleball. But that's not all! Staying fit and healthy is important to me, especially with the demands of college life. So I make sure to hit the gym regularly. And when summer rolls around, I'm all about exploring amazing swimming spots and going for hiking. Of course, I also enjoy some downtime watching my favorite TV shows. It's the perfect way to relax and recharge before diving into my next adventure.

    I enjoy swimming in both wavy beaches and calm water because it helps me relax and feel refreshed. I am always up to travel around the world as it opens up new places and cultures to explore. Reading and learning new skills have always been my passion as they keep my mind active and always expending.

    📘 Mathematics
    🎓 Second Year

    I like to sit on a park bench and think, feel the peace and harmony of nature, and listen to the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves. I also like walking along the beach at sunset and recording the perfect moment. Books are the ladder of human progress, so I love reading and learning valuable knowledge and life experiences.
