My Side Interests

Along with school and work, there are many activities I love to do. One activity I love is acting. I was in three plays this year; the most recent one was a play called "Murder by Poe" which was sponsored by my county's library association! Having a love of libraries, I loved taking an activity I love and connecting it with a job that is close to my heart. I also love doing children's plays. Every summer, I participate in them during our local Fourth of July celebrations. We have done "Little Red Riding Hood", "Puss in Boots", "The Three Little Pigs", "Rapunzel", and "The Trial of the Big Bad Wolf". I love seeing smiles on the kids' faces when the plays are over.

Another activity I love is singing. I have sung in my local church choir for almost five years, and I love every minute of it. I also recently participated in a local Christmas concert, which consisted of singers from around the area. My boyfriend was the bongos and congas player, which he is excellent at! I also played piano, which is a third activity I love doing. I have been taking lessons for the past two years, and this was my first time playing the piano at a concert. My arms were shaking since I was nervous, but I took deep breaths and everything went fine.

Although I know I cannot make a living from these activities, I love doing them. If I won the lottery, I would stop working and focus solely on these activities. Without them, I wouldn't enjoy anything.
