CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A TIME YOU SAW SOMEONE BEING BULLIED AND HOW IT MADE YOU FEEL?
I saw a kid in my class get bullied because he has a cochlear implant. They were making fun of him and calling him names at recess. It made me feel very sad that they were making fun of him. I told the teacher and we had a lesson about how we’re all made different and that’s what makes us unique. My teacher said we should uplift and support our classmates, not bring them down.

WHAT IS THE BEST ADVICE YOU CAN GIVE TO SOMEONE WHO IS BEING BULLIED?
Don’t let them get you down – what they’re saying isn’t true. Jesus loves you and you are so special. Be the bigger person and show whoever is bullying you, how being treated nicely feels. Bullies need love too. If the problem gets worse, tell a teacher or an adult who can help you!
HOW DO YOU MOTIVATE AND SUPPORT YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND TEAMMATES?
l support my family by helping in any way that I can: I do my chores, I play with my brothers, I keep my grades up and I always remind them how special they are to me and how much I love them!! I support my friends and teammates by complimenting them, cheering them on and encouraging them to go the extra mile when they’re trying to reach new goals! I love to motivate my teammates and friends to be the best version of themselves. When you focus on being stronger, inspiring others, living healthier and being a leader – it brings out the best in people and encourages them to do the same.
HOW HAS BEING A CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR HELPED YOU?
