My name is Ramona Chuang and I began fencing when I was 10 years old at Fencing Center of Chicago. Ever since I joined this club I have had a very strong support system and access to all the necessary equipment and training. Over the years, fencing has shaped me into a more disciplined, social, and motivated person. Fencing has provided me with beneficial qualities I think every child should be able to learn. As someone who believes in equal opportunities for all children, I give back in many ways to my community and the world. At my school I am on the board in a club called UNICEF whose goal is to provide equal opportunities for children all around the world. I also volunteer tutor in the inner city of a Chicago once a week to help provide educational opportunities for people. Youth Fencing of Chicago’s mission resonates with me and my beliefs and being a part of the Leadership Council would allow me to take my passion for both fencing and creating equal opportunities for all children, and combine it into one.
