Interests
I currently have about seventeen special interests (the main one being tropical cyclones), and new ones including motorcycles, oceanography (growing), mythology, social and ecological liberation (mainly trans liberation, disabled/neurodivergent acceptance, and youth liberation), and reptiles. i have eleven listed here, but a full list will be here if i have time.
Some of my interests include but are not limited to:
- art
- I have been fascinated about art since I was a kid, and I still do. There are several ways that I use art, such as to convey emotions or tell a story from my experience as a black trans man.
- It has also inspired me to begin a career that can fulfill me through college and beyond as I can get creative with, well, anything! :D
- music
- Music is a heavily peaked interest for me, and it allows me to create a story and follow along to the solemn beat of other experiences, thoughts, and emotions.
- psychology
- An interest from tenth grade that really helped me to understand people's emotions. I use this sometimes on my family, but that's ok. :D
- p.s. i love it >:)
- fashion
- Fashion is a way to help me express myself in a new way and has always been since I was a kid. Into senior year, my interest in fashion peaked, and I started to dress up in many styles (and even take those designs to school ;)) .
- meteorology
- An interest that started when I was affected by Hurricane Irma in 2017, although it was probably before then. It has slowly declined as I entered senior year, but I still have high hopes for this interest. I call it my "special interest", mainly because I've had a huge interest in it.
- fun fact: i have a hyperfixation on tropical cyclones, especially 2017.
- astronomy
- An interest that began in tenth grade during COVID-19. It has declined too starting in junior year, but it mostly evolved from my nature interest.
- storytelling
- Storytelling had been my interest since sixth grade, although I never talk about it often.
- journalism
- An interest that stemmed from my meteorology, nature, and photography interests. I currently have a newspaper ongoing, although in hiatus since November 2021, called "The Weather Post."
- history
- History had been an interest since sixth grade, but it has peaked in around tenth grade. I still like history to this day, and it has also expanded along with my meteorology interest (tropical cyclone history)
- nature
- Nature was an interest that began in ninth grade. Some stem from this interest.
- art
- photography
- An interest that stemmed from my meteorology interest beginning in tenth grade.
- photography
