ABOUT MAAHI

Hey there! I'm Maahi, and I'm 15 years old, currently in 9th grade at Troy Public Schools. When I was in 5th grade, I started this cool program called “Bag of Joy” to bring happiness to other kids.

​

Back in elementary school, I was part of the safety patrol and totally loved it. I was also on the Service Squad, where we helped out in the office and assisted kindergarteners at lunch. That's probably when I discovered how much I enjoy helping other kids.

​

Since 7th grade, I’ve been involved in Science Olympiad, Robotics, and Coding, which are super fun! In my free time, I love dancing and doing crafts. Reading is another one of my favorite hobbies, and I’m really into realistic fiction. One of my favorite books is The Hawthorne Legacy by Jennifer Lynn Barnes.

​

I have older siblings, and being the youngest, I saw how much kids can impact each other. I feel lucky to have experienced that. It inspired me in 5th grade to make a difference in other kids' lives and spread joy.

​

Oh, and my favorite color is blue 😊 Probably because I was born in Port Huron, known as the Blue Water Area. I also love traveling and learning about different countries and cultures.

With every bag, let’s spread some joy!
