I have been always interested in different hobbies during my childhood. I mainly used these hobbies to develop further my abilities and my point of view regarding the challenges I faced throughout my life. Each hobby thought me important lessons and gave me (even at the present time) the opportunity to challenge myself outside my comfort zone, enhancing my self-esteem and confidence.
