Hobbies

I like to travel because I think travel will open my eyes. Travel will simply make me a more well-rounded human being. Traveling with all the challenges it presents and opportunities will let me discover who I am in a way that only the road brings. It can also develop skills that I didn’t know I will have. The satisfaction I will get when reaching the top of the mountain, saved a woman from drowning etc. Seeing the world provides a source of education absolutely impossible to get in school or work. You get to take in culture, language, geography and so much more. The only way to learn sometimes is to put down the textbooks and go in hands on. Grasp the experience and let yourself learn.


Moreover, I like to do volunteer service during my free time. Back in high school, I used to do volunteer service at least twice a week. I will visit some mentally handicapped children in Po Leung Kuk and play with them. I will also go to some elderly centers and do services.  I volunteer because I like helping people, I feel called to volunteer and share my talents and time with others. I enjoy meeting different people from different backgrounds and cultures while volunteering. Volunteering allows me to connect with the community and make it a better place. It can also broaden my network, meeting someone with common interests and develop my social skills.

  1. I enjoy reading your blogpost because I love travelling. Taking a week off from our daily routine leads us to be happier and more productive when we return to school-- I know it sounds too good to be true. Based on my experience, whenever I return to school after Spring Break, I become more motivated to study for my finals. If you really like volunteering activities, you can check healthebay.org ! They usually make event for beach clean-ups in Santa Monica Pier during weekend. This event enables you to connect with like-minded people who want to make a difference:)
