Bio and Background	I am a student interested in a premed or pre social work, education, or some other helping profession. I am the oldest child in my family and have been involved and affected by my family’s health and also social issues. Walking, nature, and conoeing are my favorite ways to relax. Though my church, my friends and I volunteer at the local food bank.
Why I am a Force for Health Member	I am a high school student who wants to finds ways to be a better force for health. I want to be healthier and I want to help my family be healthier. I’d love to develop my leadership skills and get some intern or volunteer hours in a community project that I care about. My mom told me about the Force for Health Community and thought it sounded interesting, especially since I’m considering some type of career in tech, science, civics and healthcare fields. I am not sure what I want to focus on yet, but I am connecting with a few groups that are interesting to see how I can get involved.
How I use the Force for Health Network Tools	I did an assessment, and am now doing my learning and exercise plans. Then I will track my status as I work to achieve my goals.
My inspiration	Passionate STEAM teachers, like my mom, inspire me because they inspire and educate through the sciences and the arts, across all spectrums. I actually believe that the world could be a better place if more people empowered more people to do the same.

My Citizenship Health Factors

Some of the factors that have been challenging for me have been...	I am a junior in high school and normally very social and active, but my sports have been cancelled, my on-line classes have been boring and I feel like I need to connect to something I care about to feel better about how I’m spending my time these days. It’s tough to find those opportunities, though. I don’t really know a ton of people.
It's important for me to be part of my community's health because...	Lack of transportation. I don’t have a car and can only use my mom’s when she let’s me.
Some of the strength of my community health factors are:	The weather. Tucson makes it easier to do outside.
Some of the challenges in my community regarding certain health factors are:	We need affordable fresh food. It is so much cheaper to eat at Taco Bell than cook what I buy at the grocery store.
I believe I can help improve my community's health by...	Helping teens connect with other like minded teens who want to connect and work towards a challenge together.
