Advancing the DREAM

Advancing the DREAM - What it means to me	Being amongst the Asian/American group can be challenging at times and knowing that other individuals are receiving even worse care is not right. I believe that a health care system must care for everyone equally and to the best of their ability. We as a system of the United States have so much potential to be better and I believe if we realize that many problems could be solved over time.
My Action Pledge to Advance the DREAM?	One action I will pledge to focus on is advocating for healthy fitness and living. Being able to get people of all ages active through walking, running, yoga, Pilates, etc is important to me because that helps to build a healthier future for our country.
