I am very health conscious. I am very self-disciplined. I am enthusiastic and happy. I listen to wholesome music. The hobbies I am most passionate about are singing, dancing, reading, arts & crafts, cooking, and learning. I love to read to children, tell them stories, sing to them, and watch them drift into peaceful sleep. I love going to the park and playing games. There are few things more entertaining to me than teaching children how to cook. I love it. I also love going on walks, bike rides, making up dances, playing "house", "cars", or anything else their little imaginations come up with.
