Projects
- Action Heroes Project, Project required at Success Martial Arts to gain my black belt. Collected Pajamas, books, hygiene items, and blankets to donate to kids in need. The Heal Project, My senior project consisted of cooking over 300 meals in the kitchen of my own home. I raised over $1,500 to donate to therapy and counseling sessions for Magic Valley Behavioral Health on Eastland. I spent over 100 hours on this project and was rewarded with excellence.
The Heal Project is a project I started in my Senior year of Highschool. This project's purpose is to make therapy affordable for those that are struggling and in need of assistance. The Heal Projects mission statement is, " Healin the community through and connecting through food. So far I have been able to give $1,000 to Magic Valley Behavioral Health.
