I only started learning the zither at the end of tenth grade, much later than I had expected. Yet, I quickly grew to love the quiet moments I spend with it. Whenever school becomes overwhelming, playing the zither gives me a way to let the stress fade away, one string at a time.
It used to be my fear when I had to do public speaking, especially in English. My English teacher introduced me to debating and showed me how to organize my ideas, build an argument, and speak with purpose rather than worrying about saying everything perfectly. Over time, it has given me the confidence to speak up and trust my own voice in English.
Basketball and badminton are my favorite ways to stay active and take a break from my academic routine. Beyond keeping me healthy, playing them regularly helps me feel more energetic, refreshed, and ready to take on whatever comes next.
