Everybody has different hobbies that they like to do for fun or just to relax. There are many kinds of activities like football, basketball, swimming, or baseball. It all depends on each personality(个性). For me, volleyball is my favorite hobby because it’s part of my life.
Since I was a little girl, I played volleyball in the school team and also with my friends in the neighborhood. My mother told me that I liked kicking the ball around and had so much fun with it when I was only about two years old. Since then, playing volleyball is my favorite sport and it is my hobby whenever I have free time.
Playing volleyball also helps me to relax and be confident. For example, after doing my homework or when I come home from work, I play a little bit with my kids outside of the house or we go to the park if the weather is nice. When I play volleyball, I feel healthy and stronger. I not only like playing volleyball but I also enjoy watching volleyball on TV.
