- Outside the classroom
I enjoy art, writing, music production, and learning in general. I enjoy expressing my emotions, worries, or ideas through artistic means. I often find myself learning about the world during these processes, but I also have many questions about the world and constantly have my face in literature or coming up with theories to explain my observations or existing knowledge. I love to have my ideas challenged so that I can understand the experiences, perspectives, and worlds of others.
