Adam Platek is an Israeli high school student at the American School In Japan. Adam was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan. Since last year, Adam has developed a new passion for fitness, specifically bodybuilding.
In his speech, Adam discusses his past experiences on being overweight and how that has impacted his mental health. Adam dives into how he safely lost 22 kg in 11 months by exploring his growth, his minor setbacks, and how all these situations helped him develop mentally, emotionally, and physically as a person. Adam hopes that in the sharing of how own story, he can offer a new way for us all to think about the way we think about our own “losses” and “gains.”
