Femtech, or female technology, is a rapidly growing field that uses technology to improve women's health and wellness. It encompasses a wide range of products, services, and tools aimed at addressing various aspects of women's health, from menstruation and fertility to sexual wellness and menopause. Femtech is so inspiring, because it empowers women with information and gives them ownership of their health. Period-tracking apps, for instance, help women understand their cycles and identify potential health issues. Traditionally, women's health concerns haven't always received the attention they deserve. Femtech is filling these gaps by developing innovative solutions for conditions specific to women's bodies. That's why I'm creating an app based on menstrual cycles that help menstruators connect to their bodies and their hormones. My app, It's Not Just a Phase, is there to help people cycle-sync to improve their lives. Whether that be through doing the correct exercises, sleeping better, eating the right foods according to their hormones, and many more ways. The ever-growing field of femtech has inspired me to keep on building my app and having a positive impact on women everywhere. Other ways femtech has made the world a better place is by also tackling taboos surrounding women's health issues, opening up conversations and normalizing experiences. With more apps and technological resources on the market, there will be more discussions and exposure on issues in female health. This can be especially helpful for sexual health or menstrual issues that impact people every day. Femtech products like tele health consultations with gynecologists or wearable health trackers make healthcare more accessible and convenient for women. Femtech is still a young field, but it holds immense promise for the future. By putting women's health at the forefront and leveraging technology, femtech can create a positive impact on millions of lives.

For my first birthday in America, one of my first friends gave me a gift. It was a stuffed animal, Winnie the Pooh. This toy was with my when we moved houses, when I went through elemenetary then middle school. Winnie the Pooh was with me even when I forgot about them. When my toy was behind bookshelves swarmed with cobwebs, it never left me. Winnie the Pooh traveled with me overseas, because through my whole life, they were my best buddy. For me, Disney represents a sense of joy and optimism that is sorely needed in today's world. In a time when it seems like there is so much negativity and division, Disney has a way of bringing people together and reminding us of the things that truly matter. One of my favorite things about Disney is how no matter what age, you can enjoy a disney movie. Whether you're a child watching "The Lion King" for the first time or an adult revisiting "Aladdin" for nostalgia's sake, Disney has a way of capturing the imagination and bringing people together through shared experiences. Disney movies and other disney themed items such as theme park or shops designed to inspire hope, courage, and kindness, and they often show friendship, family, and love. Another favorite thing about Disney is the attention to detail. No matter where you are, Disney has a way of immersing you in a world of fantasy and wonder. The level of detail that goes into every aspect of the Disney experience is truly remarkable, and it shows just how much work people put in. From the animators to the writers, they all made the experience something you'll never forget. Another thing that I love about Disney is its iconic characters and stories. From Mickey Mouse to Elsa, Disney has created some of my favorite characters. These characters have become a part of my life and inspired me to dream big and believe in myself. Also, Disney's stories often have deep and meaningful themes that resonate with people of all ages, such as the importance of family, the power of love, and the value of courage. Disney means a lot of me because it has the ability to transport me to happier times, where I was experiencing innocence childhood instead of the stress and frustration of today. It brings people from all over the world together, and gives little girls princesses to look up to. Together, we have connections with each other based off our childhood favorites. To me it means that we aren't that different no matter what background you're from. The diversity ranging from Mulan to Jasmine has many positive influences on today's youth as well as youth of the past. Even if you're having a bad day, there's nothing a good cozy disney movie can't fix.
