Hobbies
I love any and all team sports and found that they were foundational experiences for me, as important as what went on in the school day, as a young student. Despite majoring in mathematics in College I went in thinking I would major in English and have kept reading and creative writing as two very close hobbies of mine. I recently returned from a 6 week backpacking trip in the Yukon Territory and have a general love for the outdoors.
