Beyond your professional achievements, what are some of your passions or hobbies? I have a variety of hobbies. My hobbies include sports (playing, watching, collecting memorabilia), exercising (weights, running), volunteering, drawing, brainteasers, solving puzzles, word games, and spending time with friends and family. I find great pleasure and contentment with volunteering and playing team sports because not only does give to people, but it also simply shows how to work together, and I love working with other people. These activities help me to improve my physical and mental abilities, sharpness, analytical thinking, social interactions, and build strong emotional ties. Of the eight hobbies, puzzles, drawing, I spend much of my free time with my 6 years old daughter, bent over a jigsaw or drawing or drawing desk.
