Hobbies

One thing I really enjoy is music. I listen to all kinds of music, and I am very involved in music. I have been learning Indian Carnatic Music for the last 10 years. I am very passionate about singing. In addition to singing, I also play the violin and the piano. I have been playing the violin for the 5 years, and I have been playing the piano for the last 7 years. Music has had a very big impact on my life because I have been exposed to it all my life.

This is a video of me playing the piano at a concert.

I have also been doing karate for 9 years. I earned my black belt about 2 years ago, and it was very exhausting. To earn our black belt we had to take four tests. The first test was about 4 hours, the second test was about 6 hours, the third test was about 8 hours, and the final test was 11 hours. Though the journey was long, it was definitely worth it because I was able to learn how to defend myself, and I made many friends there.

In addition to loving music and karate, I also have so much fun competing in track meets. Eighth grade was the first year I started track, and I was able to really enjoy it because I was doing it with my closest friends. We made so many memories at track, and I had the chance to see which events I would like to participate in during high school. It also made me realize that I might want to join the cross country team as well in high school.
