12-year-old practices a gravity-defying hobby

MUNCY, LYCOMING COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — A 12-year-old girl from Muncy has a unique hobby and wants to encourage other kids to go after what they are passionate about.

Mya Fish is a very busy The Warrior Run Junior-Senior High School student with many hobbies, including soccer and art. She also has another unique hobby she is very passionate about aerial arts.

“Aerial arts, aerial is a piece of fabric essentially and you’re doing like flips and like yoga poses on the piece of fabric in the air.”

She became interested in aerial arts like most teens balancing school and extracurricular activities can be challenging but Mya is grateful for the support she gets during the school year.

“Well, oftentimes it is sometimes hard to keep up with homework and getting to practice but lucky I have coaches that are very on top of that”

Looking to the future, Mya has a few ideas on what she wants to pursue as a career.

“When I grow up I would like to be a child psychologist or a professional artist.”

Why a child psychologist?

“Well I’m somebody who’s always had trouble with anxiety and other things like that so I want to be like almost an outlet for another child my age.”

And as for the art…

“Art has always been an outlet for my anxiety and painting and drawing so then if I got to make a career out of that, that would be just amazing.”
