Hobbies and Interests
I love learning science, practising mathematics, learning about animals, reading classics and happy novels, listening to cheerful music and listening to audiobooks.
I am a girl of hopes and dreams; vision and enthusiasm for life. I love reading classics, and genres of fantasy, romance, comedy, fiction, cozy, happy, cottage core and adventure. They lead me to magical worlds and delightful moments in loving relationships along with the trials and triumphs of life. Ever since the age of five, I have danced a dance of joy – the elegant ballet – and to this day, I revel in twirls and pirouettes around my home. Nature, the flora and fauna of Mother Earth, fascinates me, as I often indulge in walking along long trails in the forests or sandy shores of the beaches. My passion for science continues unabated. I knew my calling to science ever since I was five years old. Since then, I have yearned to become a scientist – to learn how organisms interact, observe the marvellous reactions of chemicals and operations of machines. Complementary to my affinity towards science, is mathematics. I enjoy practising mathematics because it trains my mind and compels me to think. It is one big, complex puzzle that’s fun to solve! Swimming soothes my soul as I glide through cool, refreshing water and play in it. There’s more! I love all sorts of puzzles – mathematical, crosswords, word puzzles as well as jigsaw puzzles; including board games such as chess and Scrabble. Jigsaw puzzles are special, for my mother and I would always piece them together and revel in the satisfaction of completion as we admired our final result. I enjoy a good game of chess ever so often with my brother too. They are immensely enjoyable and an amazing workout for my brain cells!
