well through this event, its helped me work harder to achieve my physical goals. I know Im already fit, but one thing is for sure that I just love to keep in shape. This challenege has helped me get rid of stress by keeping my body and mind busy to succeed. I am one of the few students at Thomas Downey High School that is joining the military. Yes, I know I am a girl, but I know I can do what guys can, guys aint the only hardcore ones to join the military haha. But by this challenge starting, it helped me to get even better and my body to be ready for the boot camp that is coming up. I have been doing the Governors "Fit for the Future" Challenege since the day it started and well so far so good, I haven't missed any days of the physical training days so Im good to go. Once I am out of high school this year, I know I will be more ready than usual to begin my future in the military with this challenge by keeping me working on my physical shape everyday and that is what this economy needs right now to have a healthy, strong economy. I thank the people who began the governors challenge because now it shows that people can be more capable on keeping up with their physical figure throughout their lifetime. Thank you, Jessica Thomas Downey High School Student

I've been over weight growing up and I could never find the courage to go and run in public, or even work out in gym class at my school; this program gave me a place to work out with people who do not know me, making me feel more comfortable, until i really was conformable with other people. I'm still a little chubby, but I know there is hope and I will fight until I am happy with my self!
