volunteering, traveling and reading
Being a lover of giving back to the community, I have volunteered in various health screening programs, seminars and donations. With the knowledge and skills I obtained in school, I participated in health campaigns and research projects.
Traveling is one of my hobbies because seeing different people with different cultures helps me to develop a different perspective towards life and also pushes me to become a better version of myself.
Knowledge is power and one of the best ways to gain knowledge is through reading. As a student, it is a necessity for me to read to excel academically however I also love to read because I am able to improve my vocabulary and my confidence in public speaking.
