Q: What hobbies/sports/clubs do you do and why do you like them?

A: “I like being involved in sports. In Israel, I played basketball in school and in a youth league, but coming here gave me the opportunity to get involved in other sports like swimming, soccer, running, and, of course, basketball. I like playing sports and spending time with the team. I also like reading, hiking, and just spending time with my family and friends.”
