Which interests do you pursue outside of the classroom?
Outside of the classroom the interests I pursue most are sports. In my case, football has taught me some very important life lessons that I will remember for life. It is a warriors game and each Friday I get to go into battle with my brothers that are originally from many different places, but on the field we all bleed green.
