Dear Keisha,

I want to let you know that i found a new hobby other than watching Netflix. When I was in high school, I had this lesson that taught students how to become a successful entrepreneur and it requires me to open a business as a form of practice. So I started to bake some cookies and sell it to the closest people and it went really well. Since then, baking has taken my heart and I feel happy everytime I bake.

The most exciting part of my hobby is that I can taste a lot of delicious baked goods and I can share it with my loved ones. Sometimes the food came out of the oven doesn’t taste as good as it should be caused by many factors like clumsyness or bad recipe, but that doesn’t stop me from doing it.

The joy and happiness it gives me is irreplaceable. Baking requires a strong arm to mix ingredients, therefore I gain a little muscle from it. I would definitely recommend this activity to anyone who loves to be in the kitchen. I hope one day we can bake together at my place.
