My Hobbies
Running has been a core part of my life for as long as I can remember, shaping not just my athletic ability but also my mindset, discipline, and lifestyle. I started running in middle school simply as a way to stay fit, but everything changed when my coach recognized my potential and invited me to train with the 8th-grade team as a 6th grader. My first timed mile was 7:02, and by the end of middle school, I had dropped it to 5:01. ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
As I continued to push my limits, I began training with my high school team while still in middle school and officially joined them after promotion, earning a spot on varsity as a freshman. Over the years, I competed at the USATF National Junior Olympics for two years, racing both the 800m and 1500m against some of the best young athletes in the country. By the end of high school, I had achieved personal bests of 1:59 in the 800m and 4:29 in the mileโtimes that reflected years of dedication, grit, and perseverance. ๐
Running has taught me more than just endurance. It instilled in me the value of consistency, mental toughness, and the ability to push beyond perceived limits. It showed me that success is built on daily effort, resilience through setbacks, and an unwavering commitment to progress. Whether on the track or in life, I embrace challenges head-on, always striving for the next breakthrough. ๐
Food has always been something I enjoy, and lately, I have been exploring new flavors and cuisines with an open mind. Trying new foods is more than just eating; it is about experiencing different cultures, discovering unique flavors, and stepping out of my comfort zone one bite at a time. ๐
From street food to fine dining, I love the thrill of tasting something I have never had before. Whether it is a dish I have always been curious about or something completely unexpected, I embrace every meal as an adventure. Some flavors surprise me, some instantly become favorites, and others challenge my palate in ways I never expected. ๐ฅข
In my free time, I enjoy visiting new restaurants and finding hidden gems that offer something different. Whether it is trying a new dish with friends, sharing a meal with family, or treating my loved ones to something special, food has a way of bringing people together. Every meal becomes an experience, a moment to enjoy good company and create lasting memories. ๐จ๐ปโ๐ณ
I have always enjoyed desserts and like exploring new spots to try different treats. Whether it is a well-known favorite or something unique, I appreciate finding new flavors and experiences. ๐ญ
Ice cream is something I always enjoy, and I like trying different milk teas to see what stands out. Finding a good balance of flavors is something I pay attention to, and I like checking out different places to see how they compare. ๐ฆ
I also enjoy sharing these experiences with friends and family, whether it is trying a new dessert place together or treating them to something they have never had before. It is a simple way to spend time together and enjoy something new. ๐
Spending time with family, friends, and my pets is something I truly cherish, no matter how busy life gets. After a long day, taking my pets for a walk is one of my favorite ways to decompress, clear my mind, and enjoy the beauty of the sky as the day winds down. Those quiet moments bring a sense of peace and reflection. ๐
I also love making time for the people who matter most, whether it is sharing a meal, catching up, or simply enjoying each other’s company. Finding a balance between work, personal goals, and quality time is something I value, and I try to be present for the moments that truly count. ๐คฒ๐ป
At the end of the day, it is these simple, meaningful moments that bring the most joy, keeping me grounded and reminding me of what is most important. ๐ซ
