Reading, dancing, running and spending quality time with family and friends.
I am an avid reader and spend most of my free time enjoying books. I love comics, personal growth and history books. I read for fun and enjoy doing it. Dancing is one of my passion. I developed this skill as a young girl in the elementary school dance group, and have danced throughout my adult years, and taught other young people to do so. Family and friends play an important role in my life and nothing compares to the time that we share together telling stories and laughing as kindergarten kids. It worth so much.
