Back in 2007, i got diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer. 

I always worked out prior to illness that i continued to work out during my chemo treatments. It really helped me to go through with emotinally and physically. I refusedt to give up my work out because i was sick. I rocked my bald head and i was looking forward to go back to gym especially long hour treatment from chemo. The middle of treatments, i started working for my parents business for a full time that i stopped working out for 9 months. It was work, sleep, and do it again. I was so angry and depressed that i couldn't work out. It was one place that i felt free and happy. I loved the feeling of getting my heart pumped up. I missed the sweat. I missed the high after a great work out. So i told my paresnts that i need to live my life. I can't live for them or anybody. I felt like i got another chance to live again, and i was back to where i was before. After we sold the business, i took one year off to change my life. I started to take fitness more serioulsy too. I studied to be a personal trainer too. I learned how to cook healthy the first time in my life. I self taught how to lift weights. I set a goal that i wanted to compete in bikini show and i did one year later. I started to work at a major big gym and eventually i opened my own studio back in 2013. Everybody told me not to open the fitness studio because they are no money. I didn't open it money but i wanted to help more people in my term. I teach 20 classes per week, and do persoanl training about 10 hours. I interact with my members and clients all the time. I love teaching all my classes. It is little party in every class and i want to bring this energy to other people.
