I read Lynsey Addario’s It’s What I Do a year or two ago and had sought her out along with other authors whose work centered around global conflicts. They have brought to light some of the darkest situations our world faces and have made impacts in communities that are suffering. Something I am passionate about is aid work. I have traveled to multiple countries to do community service work and have been everywhere from Central America, the Middle East, to Southeast Asia.

I am majoring in Global Conflict with a minor in Arabic because I do not want to be a bystander in today’s conflict-ridden world when I could be taking action to aid those affected. I could blog about the stories I have from those countries or current humanitarian issues. But the problem with that is those events are far away (either already have happened or they are geographically distant), making it hard to gain material to write about.

However, something more mainstream along the lines of passion (and worth blogging about) is my love for fitness and exercise. I am an avid weight lifter (Mon-Fri 5:30 am-7:00am), I participate in fitness/sports oriented clubs, and I train with a personal trainer. In addition to the exercise component I enjoy leading a healthy lifestyle that includes being outdoors and eating clean. I love finding new nutrition and supplement ideas as well.

This is something vital to who I am today. I revolve my everyday life around my health and fitness and it gives me motivation each day. I care a lot about the health and fitness of others in addition to myself. Blogging about this part of my lifestyle would give me the chance to share that passion with others. I feel that this idea would have a lot more substance to it.
