So now I would like to talk about a hobby or activity I enjoy doing. So I would say my hobby is acting and I’ve been acting since I was a freshman in high school and now I’m a senior in high school so which means it’s like I’ve been acting for like three years and I enjoy acting so much because it made my life so much better and it put significant changes in my life such as I learned how to be confident when I’m on stage and I learned how to do public speaking and there are lots of advantages of this and if you’re a shy person acting can help you become more extroverted and when I’m on stage and when I’m acting it means that I’m living the character’s life not my own life so it makes me feel so different and it makes me feel like I’m the only one on this stage and everything around me is just like blurry and I feel so confident and I feel like all the overwhelming feelings are just gonna burst out and it makes me feel so happy and exciting and that’s why I really enjoy acting a lot and I would also recommend other people to do this if they want to be more confident and if they want to be more extroverted and want to know how to communicate with others and it also helped me learn how to see things from other people’s perspectives so yes

So now I would like to talk about a hobby or activity I enjoy doing. I would say my hobby is acting, and I've been acting since I was a freshman in high school. Now I'm a senior in high school, which means I've been acting for about three years. I enjoy acting so much because it has made my life significantly better and brought about important changes, such as learning how to be confident on stage and improving my public speaking skills. There are many advantages to this, and if you're a shy person, acting can help you become more extroverted. When I'm on stage and acting, it feels like I'm living the character's life, not my own. This makes me feel so different; I feel like I'm the only one on stage, and everything around me becomes blurry. I feel confident, and all the overwhelming feelings seem to burst out, making me feel so happy and excited. That's why I really enjoy acting a lot. I would also recommend it to others if they want to be more confident, become more extroverted, and learn how to communicate with others. It has also helped me learn to see things from other people's perspectives. So yes.
