My Hobbies
In my childhood, my parents not only developed my learning skills, but also cultivated me wide range of hobbies.
Music
When I was 6, I started learning the dulcimer (we call it Yangqin in Chinese). After three years’ learning, I won the prize in Liaoning Province Dulcimer Completion. And then I began to paly piano when I graduated from primary school. I also like listening to and singing the classic and pop songs. Even though I never thought of becoming a musician, I treated music as a part of my life. It is magic that I can feel the composers’ emotions through the music. When I have the pressure in learning and daily life, music makes me relax.
Here is the link to the PowerPoint about Chinese Musical instruments which I did a presentation for my last semester music class.
Sports
I interest in many different kinds of sports, such as basketball, badminton, swim, skiing, and ski dive.
Among them I like swim and badminton best. And recently I have evinced a keen interest in ski dive.
I did my first ski dive in Mexico. It was so exciting and amazing.
I am considering a second jump in the future.
Here is the link to the video that I did ski dive in Mexico: Meixi’s Ski Dive Video
Travel
I like travelling.
I treat travel as my career which means I will devote my whole life to it.
In my experience, travelling give me the opportunity to disconnect from my regular life.
It also give me the chance to know the world, meeting people of other cultures and seeing the things around them.
Another good thing with traveling is that it gives me the experiences and skills which will be of great use in my career:
- Communication and social skills
- Skills for stress management
- Planning and organizational skills
- Time management skills
- Teamwork
- Decision making skills
- Self-awareness and management
- Creative thinking
- Ability to learn new languages
These skills will improve my personal abilities that I can also apply them on my future business work.
