One of my favorite things to do is play the piano. I have been playing the piano since I was 3. I compete in piano competitions and play in recitals and such. Here's a video of my Carnegie Hall preformance.
I also play the French Horn, which I started when I was in 4th grade. I play in the Junior Repretory Orchestra of the Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra (BYSO) and also in my school orchestra. Here's a photo of me playing the horn with our orchestra at a school concert.
In addition to music, I also really like to play sports. One of my favorite sports is Cross Country Running. I love running, especially long distance running. I do cross country in the fall every year at school and I also attend other 5ks and 10ks outside of school. Here's a photo of my sister, my mom, and I at the finish line of a 5k we ran in the winter and a photo of me during a school cross country race warm up.
I also play squash, which is kind of like playing tennis but you hit the ball at the wall and it bounces back at your opponent, who then hits it back at the wall. I started in 7th grade and I'm on the squash team for school. Here's a photo of our team from this year and a photo of me playing with one of my friends.
I also like to swim. I used to swim on a club team but then I quit, so I just swim for town now. Sadly, the swim team in the summer this year was cancelled this year though because of COVID. My favorite stroke in swimming is backstroke because I'm not the biggest fan of diving and it's also my best stroke. Here's a video of me swimming backstroke at one of my meets at BU.
I love to bake and I've been baking a lot during quarantine. Some of my favorite things to bake are cookies, pies, and more recently, macarons. Here are some photos of some of the stuff I've baked.
I also love to travel. I haven't been able to do much of it recently because of COVID, but I love getting to travel to different places and see the world. Here are some photos from places I've been.
