Passions:
I have a goal to
learn something new with my body and mind every year. For example, this year,
I'm learning how to do a “50-50 boardslide switch” on a snowboard, and I'm also
trying to learn 200 words in Japanese.
Spare time
activities:
For sports, besides
snowboarding, I love to coach softball, play tennis with my friends early in the
morning, go hiking with my family, and swim in my pool. For hobbies, I enjoy
visiting with my family, writing, art projects, traveling, and playing cards.
