Hobbies

I started playing basketball at an early age and continued for 8 years. During this 8-year period, I was also interested in swimming for 2 years and I did both of these sports with a license. I have also been playing computer games since my early ages and I think that this is where the biggest contribution comes from in terms of problem solving, different thinking and language proficiency development. I really like drinking coffee, so I worked as a barista for 1 year to learn how to brew it in detail. I also really like animals, so I worked as a volunteer at a vet for a while to help them.
