While on my UBC nursing preceptorship at Richmond Public Health I was able to participate in health teaching at G.O. Day. In collaboration with various community partners, I was able to speak to Grade 9 girls about healthy eating habits and the importance of leading an active life. This day opened up the opportunity for Grade 9 girls to see what community health activities are available to them, highlighting activities that are actually fun and exciting. Alongside, some UBC nursing students, I participated in Belly Dancing, Barre, Pilates and Life coaching. It was inspirational to engage with young girls and yet take moment to think about my own self-care goals as a busy student and future health professional.
