My Favorite Hobby: Painting

My Favorite Hobby: Painting Painting is my favorite hobby because it lets me express myself. I started painting when I was 8, and now my room is full of my art. I love using watercolors to create soft landscapes or acrylics for bold abstracts. When I feel angry, painting calms me; when I’m happy, I paint bright colors. Last summer, I painted a portrait of my dog, and my parents hung it in the living room. Painting also teaches patience—sometimes a piece takes weeks to finish. It’s a world where I can be creative and free.

The Value of Volunteering

The Value of Volunteering Volunteering is a way to give back to the community. It helps others and brings personal growth. I volunteer at a senior center every weekend, chatting with elderly people and helping them use smartphones. Last month, I organized a storytelling event for them, and their smiles made my day. Volunteering teaches patience and empathy. It also builds skills—planning events improved my organization ability. Whether cleaning a park or tutoring kids, every act of service matters. Try volunteering—you’ll find helping others is the best reward.

Golden Hour Garden

Roses glow, their petals translucent in the setting sun. Bees make last rounds, heavy with pollen. A fountain gurgles, water catching the light. The air smells of jasmine and lavender, sweet and heady. A cat stretches on a stone wall, eyes half-closed, as the day fades gently—soft, warm, perfect.
