Interests: Personal Growth

Who am I now?

1. Describe a hobby or interest, either in school or outside of school, that you have spent time
developing this year. (Some examples: gaming, art, music, dance, writing, photography,
construction, building engines, hunting, having your own YouTube channel, etc.)
One of my hobbies is learning different languages. To do this I study, watch shows in that
language to pick up more words, and listen to music in that language as well.

2. What do you like about this particular hobby or interest?

I think languages are really fascinating and interesting. For me it’s really fun to learn
about the origin of languages and mainly the culture of them.

3. What kinds of skills have you developed or practiced via this hobby/interest?
This hobby allows me to be able to connect more with others and have a better
understanding of origin and culture.

4. How has this hobby or interest challenged you to grow?

It’s showed me that I can actually motivate myself to learn and try something new.

5. If someone else told you they were interested in pursuing the same hobby or interest, what
advice would you give them?
I would tell them to start out with the basics at first and to try and do research about the
culture of that language to have a better understanding.

6. What connections can you make between this hobby/interest and the life you want to have for
yourself in the future? In other words, do you see this hobby or interest continuing? Is it related
to any career interests? Ten years from now, do you think you’ll still be engaged in this hobby or
interest? Explain.

I do see myself continuing this hobby in the future. I think it

will definitely lead to some sort of career like an interpreter or a
linguist.
