Interests

To maintain a healthy lifestyle, I contribute most of my free time playing football as well as spending time at the gym to improve my fitness and health. Recently, I  completed a 10k run, showcasing my personal fitness and time management skills with a completion time of 56.25. Also, contributing back to the community is something which I like to do regularly, to give back to the less fortunate or even to society as a whole, this gives me great fulfilment. Previously I have volunteered to pick up debris at the beach (Beach Clean Up), achieving the maximum collection of waste, and I obtained my V50 certificate while working at my local charity shop, Mind. Additionally, I have allowed time throughout my day to read books and current newspaper articles, to keep me updated with current world affairs.
