The year of 1997 was when I entered the beautiful world. Not only was the 90's the generation I was born in. The 90's was an interesting generation in which technology was gradually developing and genres like rap and hip hop became popular among teenagers and young adults. As a child growing up in the 2000's, I would become exposed to the most well-known 90's hits and listen to them regularly. My family always kept CD's in the house and in the car. One of the CD's that I recall my mother keeping in her car was a CD with a collection of popular 90's dance and rock hits. My brother and I loved listening to the songs while we were in the car. Some of the songs that were on the CD's were songs that I would dance to during flagpole, which was a morning event in which kids and counsellors would gather and dance on the field before athe camp day started. Throughout my youth, I continued to listen and dance to 90's music, regardless of the genre of what other kids were listening to. As an adult, I still admire all the rap, techno, rock, alternative, heavy metal, hip hop and indie hits from the 90's.

I have been on the SlimFast diet since June 1 2020. I have been struggling with weight loss since I am likely to relapse after being deprived of sugar or carbs for a day or two. With that being said, I have started to work on losing weight and have been studying nutrition since July 1 2019. It has been a nightmare trying to find the right diet so I don't relapse and go back to my old ways. Since I have been on the SlimFast diet, I have been making some real progress with my weight and overall wellbeing. Throughout the SlimFast journey, I have been experimenting with SlimFast smoothie recipes to give myself a variety to enjoy for breakfast and lunch!

When I was younger, I did not have many hobbies except for riding my bike, playing with toys, listening to music, being with people, playing outside, playing computer games, watching films, watching TV and going out to new places. I always wished for a variety of hobbies that I can get better at. I did not want to just have the same hobbies that I started out with. I wanted to explore recreational activities that made me smarter and increase my creativity. I still continued to socialize with people, listen to music, play outside, go out to different places, watch older TV shows and films and play computer games. At one point, I got into collecting porcelain dolls and figurines. As time went on, I gradually developed new hobbies that would foster my independence and increase my intellectual, athletic and creative abilities. I grew out of some of the hobbies I had, but it gave me opportunity to find new ones!
