Though I hate to admit it, used to be more comfortable following directions than giving them myself. I grew up a shy girl with maybe one or two close friends. I followed the teachers’ directions, listened to my parents, looked after my sister, and remained diligent in my studies. This doesn’t seem so bad, however I was not satisfied with my personality. I was too timid, expressed no unique thoughts, and had almost no independence. This all changed when I was almost ten years old and entered 4-H, the West Hawaii 4-H organization which was geared towards community service and volunteer work to address the four H’s: head, hands, heart, and health.…
It's hard to not know anything about me because I'm pretty much an open book. But if I had to think of something that most people wouldn't know about me it would be that I was born and raised in Hilo. All my life I lived in Hilo up until my freshman year when I moved to Kona. Right now I'm currently a senior attending Konawaena High School. With that being said, I lived on the Kona side for about 4 years now. The main reason for me moving to this side was because both my parents have jobs out here. My dad, being a manager had already been working out on this side as well as on the Hilo side. My mom on the other hand, got a job promotion that had to be taken in Kona.…
Several months ago, when High Island was going through a confusing stage. I sent my resume to Anahuac. The principal called me on Monday and wanted to meet with me today. I specifically told them that I was under contract with High Island. However, they offered me the job and wanted me to discuss the situation with you. I told them that I would meet with Mr. Gubbs on Monday and let them know as soon as possible.…

The day I left for ASU was in 9th May. I was so excited because I could start my college life. The flight to Arizona was at 4:15 pm. I woke up at 8 am to pick up all my stuff to my luggage and call a car to take me to the airport. After two hours later, my parents, they woke up and prepared the dinner for me. The food were very delicious. The car arrives at 1:00 pm. I arrived at airport at 1:45 pm. The airliner took off on time. In the meantime, I carried the fear of unknown further because everything was unpredictable. How is the ASU? How is the class? How is my dorm room? How is my room? How is class? All the thing about the collage could not stop running through my brain. After 16 hours, I finally arrive at AZ. The first feeling when I…
This summer I went to Rhode Island with my dad. We took our two kayaks on our Toyota Echo to go kayaking in a few of the lakes near our beach house. We stacked the two kayaks on top of each other, as that was the only way we could fit them safely on to the car. Before the seven hour trip to Rhode Island, we bought a few pairs of ratchets to hold the kayaks down. Our biggest concern was that the kayaks would slip off of the car due to the high speeds of the highways and the wind pressures.…
One day I was swimming through the ocean in Hawaii. I was going to my house and all the sudden I found a purple puddle. I was very curious what it was. I swam over there to look at this purple puddle and all the sudden a shark hit me and I fell into it. Then I was all purple and I tried washing it but it didn’t come off. Now I am a purple fish that lives in Hawaii and smells like coconuts.…
I belong to a small island community, Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Islands. This small island in the Pacific Ocean is home to a United States military base where my parents work as government contractors. I attend the only high school with my small graduating class of 13. I have lived here for just over a year, but I have easily involved myself with the community and created relationships with fascinating people. This island is home to about 1,000 people; many move frequently and a rare few have spent most of their life here. I participate in my high school’s sports teams which play other adult teams as the island is mostly working adults. I have ridden my bike around every inch of the island that I am allowed and developed a hunger for adventure.…
The summer of 2014, my family and I went to Ocean City for an overnight stay. We arrived in Ocean City and checked into our hotel rooms. Then, we drove down to the beach. We listen to music, snapped pictures and ate delicious food. My oldest son was playing football and Frisby with his cousin. I spent my time near the water playing in the sand. I wrote the word baby in the sand and took a picture laying beside it. Out of nowhere, it became windy. The umbrella flew away multiple times. The sand was blowing all over the place. We watch the sunset and left the beach. We stopped for dinner and went back to our hotel. I was four months pregnant in this picture.…
My family lived on Orcas Island for ten years, and now I am free. The island, though beautiful, felt tiny and far away from everywhere important. A majority of my days in high school I willed myself through classes by filling notebooks with drawings of space stations and birds. The only two activities that I really enjoyed were Art Club, which I did for three years, and Yearbook Club, which I did for two. These activities were the only real sense of accomplishment during my time on the island. A terrible high school math experience set me up for a belief that I did not have the brains for math or science, and in junior and senior year of high school my online running start classes combined horribly with this lack of confidence in my academic…

When I applied for the Quinlan Ramble to Seattle my freshman year, I had no idea of what the trip would be like. I had no expectations, and honestly as a freshman I just thought it would be a great way of spending my first Spring Break in America. However, upon meeting the people I traveled with, I knew it wouldn’t just be another school trip. We connected from the very beginning, forming a strong bond. During the trip, we were all very dedicated to get an insider perspective of the real business world. Outstanding business professionals, probably the best ones in their industries, welcomed us in such a friendly manner. I’m confident enough to say that we learned things with these professionals that we would never had the chance to learn in…
I was always amazed and interested in the sea. I also like scuba diving with my dad and my older brother, Benjamin. The last time I went scuba diving was two years ago in French Polynesia. Now, I was going to dive in Hawaii! I saw things that I was totally not expecting to see.…
My family and I went on a trip to Pennsylvania, Florida for my little cousin birthday. My heart was rushing and my face was lit up from the excitement that filled the room. I asked my mom can I bring two of my friends Patrick and Camarius, she said yes and all thirty two pearls lined up across my face. It was my first time traveling with my family and my last time. I never want to witness anything like the trip to Florida with my family ever again.…
