Interests

Languages

I like learning new languages for fun. I have a 720-day streak on Duolingo - most being spent on Spanish but I recently decided to learn German and Italian. I also practice American Sign Language (ASL) from a website called [Lifeprint]. I finished ASL 1 on there and plan to do up to course 4.

Books

Books have always been a source of inspiration and knowledge for me. I love diving into different worlds and exploring new ideas through literature. My favorite book series is Harry Potter, I listen to them on audio books whenever I want to kill time. Anyway, Here are three of my favorite books:
