My name is Morgan Mayorga and I am currently a Senior at Sage Creek High School in Carlsbad, California. Before quarantine, I was never too interested in what I was eating and the effects that it had on my body. I realized that a drastic change to my eating habits was necessary, and decided to take the steps to improve not only my physical health, but my mental health as well. Through this process, I discovered my true passion for health, wellness, and nutrition. I signed up for a Nutrition Class through my local community college to help me determine if Nutrition is the career that I want to pursue. I was so interested in all of the things that I was taught and incorporated several of the concepts into my daily habits. For my genius project journey, I decided that I wanted to share my passion for nutrition with others. I teamed up with my close friend Chloe and we founded the Health is Wealth Club. Each week we focus on a different nutrition topic, discuss the benefits of certain foods, share recipes, and have get-togethers to make food that we learned about earlier that week. I look forward to pursuing a path in Nutrition for my future career and I am so excited for all the opportunities that it may bring.
