Volunteering, Reading, listening to music and Writing

Volunteering:


I volunteer at the Lighthouse International Church, where I help with the soup kitchen every Sunday. My responsibilities include preparing and serving meals to those in need, as well as distributing donated clothing to individuals and families in our community. This experience has provided me with a deep sense of fulfillment and has enhanced my teamwork and organizational skills, as I work alongside others who share a commitment to making a positive impact.


Reading:


I enjoy reading from time to time, particularly when I find a book that captures my interest. While I may not read consistently, I appreciate a variety of genres, especially those that explore personal development and human behavior. I find that reading enriches my perspective and provides valuable insights.


Listening to Music:


Gospel music holds a special place in my heart. I appreciate its uplifting messages and the sense of community it fosters. I often listen to gospel artists and attend live performances, which inspire me and provide a sense of connection to my faith and values.


Writing:


I have a passion for writing, particularly when it comes to expressing my thoughts and ideas. Whether through journaling or reflective writing, I find it to be a powerful way to explore my experiences and emotions. Writing allows me to clarify my thoughts and communicate effectively, and I enjoy using it as a tool for personal growth and self-expression.
