Alayah Richardson

Dynamic gymnastics coach at Westside Dance And Gymnastics Academy, skilled in fostering communication and focus among young athletes. With a strong work ethic and safety awareness, I create a positive environment that encourages fun and learning, ensuring each child develops essential skills while enjoying their journey in gymnastics.

My experiences as a coach and volunteer have shown me how important being a leader is, and how it can lay a path for a bright future. My service experience helping others around my community, at home, have helped me see that working hard and helping others can pay off, as well as makes me feel great knowing I am being the best version of myself, and teaching others to do the same.

Over the last several years I have accomplished keeping a 4.0 GPA throughout my High School years. I have been able to maintain my straight A’s throughout my entire education starting when I was first enrolled into school. I am maintaining my GPA while holding down a job, joined a Medical Health Club, I also signed up to be an ODS counselor this year, knowing how much work it will be. The experience is going to help me be a better person, knowing I can make a different in younger children’s lives by showing them what a leader is.

At a Gymnastics Meet helping where needed for an entire weekend. I volunteered my time helping nearly 12 hours a day.

Assisted the elderly when my grandma was needing extra care. I was always there to help when she needed me most.

Volunteering to help my family with my younger siblings, neighbors, and friends when they need extra help.

Throughout my experiences with being a leader, and service experience I have learned a lot about myself. I have learned how to be a better person, how to be present in the moment, helping to lead the younger generations to a brighter future, how to work hard and stay focused on making the best version of myself. The experience and skills I have learned along the way will shape my future, and continue to help me hit goal, and make a better life for myself as well as others around me. I am the future, I want to do the best I can to make it great.
