Soccer and Reading

Soccer - this is a hobby of mine that grew as a love of the sport from a young age. I currently play as a full-back but I can play anywhere in defense. The sport to me is one of the greatest examples of team work as it is not an individual sport. It also shows how when one person does something for themselves only, how the negative impact effects the entire team including that individual member.


Reading - this is more so a thing that I do in my free-time. It can go from books, articles on websites, interesting facts about places and historical figures and events to comics. It's an interesting thing to see how creatively different things can be described or told with various and strong emotions.
