Hobbies

Here are some stuff I like to do for fun outside of programming or innovating new projects.

Tennis

I've been playing tennis ever since I was in 3rd grade. I played in tournaments since 6th grade, and I have been on my school's varsity tennis team ever since 6th grade as well. In my most recent year, I was able to represent my school at our league (SCVAL) double's finals. Every now and then, I like to invite my friends to play tennis at our nearby courts.

Scouting

I have been in Boyscouts ever since I was in 5th grade. I enjoy going to different outings events and learn important scout skills. I held numerous leadership positions in my troop such as Senior Patrol Leader within the past few years. I also had the opportunity to attend World Scout Jamboree 2019 in West Virginia where I had the opportunity to meet over 40,000 scouts from 152 different nations. This past summer, I was finally able to rank up to Eagle Scout, which is the highest Boyscout Rank
