My name is Kenny Wang and I am currently a freshman at Baruch College. I have many interests such as playing basketball, playing ping-pong, playing piano, eating, and biking, but the interest that defines me the most is my hobby of handball. I picked up handball in 6^th grade when my middle school friends started playing. At first, I found handball to be really tedious but as I played more, I discovered that there was more to handball than just getting the ball to the wall. There were skills such as cutting, whipping, positioning, diving, rallies, and lobs that needed to be mastered if someone wanted to be good at handball. One of the most challenging however, was learning how to use my weak-hand which quite honestly could not even return the ball to the wall when I first started playing. Furthermore, there was also a mental aspect to the game which was needed if someone wanted to beat their opponent. After years of playing, I won a few tournaments and placed in other tournaments as well. I also became the handball captain for my school and was the top player on my team for two straight years. Aside from handball, I also love to eat which could be seen from the pictures I have posted. I love trying new foods and just eating in general. There’s so much you could learn from eating a culture’s food. As a young child, I also loved legos and this is a picture of the hulk built out of legos when I went to Toy R us. I remember staying up late every night during the summer of 1^st grade just building every kind of spaceship I could think of and crashing them together. These interests have definitely shaped me to be a competitive individual and I proudly say that it is what makes me who I am today.
