Improving Youth Physical Health
Passion
My passion for health and fitness began when I was in 7th grade. I wanted a slim body because I did not want to be ridiculed by others for being fat anymore. On my 16- year health and fitness journey, however, I went through four body transformations that were never maintained because they were unsustainable. However, this time around, I am more knowledgeable on healthy habits and fitness training to maintain and sustain a healthy body and lifestyle. Therefore, I want to share my knowledge with the youth.

Due Diligence
- YWW (Young Women Warriors) is an established program hosted at and by CMAA (Chinese Mutual Aid Association). They already have young women signed up each year. They have already planned out the program year with workshops and activities that I’ve volunteered to host that coincide with the topic on fitness and health. I have signed up to coordinate the Self-Defense workshop for the YWW program year to implement my community project plan on fitness and health.
- The Diverse Young Leaders After School Program at CMAA has youth already signed up each year. I have drafted a plan for 6 total activities and workshops to present and engage the 6th-8th graders with Karina and Ella.
- FSRC hosts annual running events such as the Earth Day community clean up run at CMAA that I’ve already drafted and presented the team to execute in 2024.
