Networking, watching soccer and hiking
Socializing with peers enriches my mind with new knowledge and life perspective that broadens my level understanding and accommodation of ideas. Watching soccer is a fun activity that not only relaxes my mind but also gives me an opportunity to network with people from all walks of life. Lastly, hiking is an outdoor activity connecting me with nature and its beauty.
