I enjoy hiking with my family, and exercise at least 5 days a week. My current hobby is reading Harry Potter books with my sons (10 and 7 years old). I bought the hardcover copies of all the Harry Potter books when they first came out and I saved all of them for my sons. I rarely re-read a book, except every year, I read Camus&#8217;s The Stranger, as it reminds me of how important it is to be present in life.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/traci-hong-43b64051\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/com\/profile\/traci-hong\/\">BU Profile<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":18993,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/newbury-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/1666"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/newbury-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/newbury-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/newbury-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18993"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/newbury-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/1666\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5018,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/newbury-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/1666\/revisions\/5018"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/newbury-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1666"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
