When you hear the beat, you follow the rhythm. That is what my music teacher told me before. Hi everyone! I am Kingsley and I attend Collingwood. My hobbies involve basketball, go-karting, and dabbling in music. These activities grant me the most authentic version of myself, and they help me stay active and creative. I particularly love learning new things, especially in mathematics. Solving challenging math problems is very refreshing and it inspires me to think differently. I always look forward to learning new things when I am fully engaged in activities like basketball, running, or even writing a cheerful tune. There is always something fascinating to uncover in the world and each new day brings fresh opportunities to ask new questions and turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.
