Hobbies
Some of my hobbies include: cooking, reading, and going for walks. I enjoy looking up recipes on Pintrest and then attempting to make the same dish. In my spare time I am usually reading a novel. My favorite classic novel is The Great Gatsby, I have both read it multiple times as well as taught it once. For fun I enjoy reading Jodi Picoult books.
