Words From The Hawaiian Language
Have you ever stopped to realise just how many languages there are in the world? With so many different continents, countries, and cultures there are 6,500 different languages. I learned words from the hawaiian language this week. Words such as haleku’ai, ono, and holoholona. The most interesting fact about the hawaiian language is that it only uses 13 letters. Learning these words helped me appreciate all the people that say them and how hard it would be to create a language from scratch.

This week I also learned about problems the US is having. There are environmental issues such as the US being the biggest consumer of energy and producing a lot of pollution. Natural hazards like hurricanes, earthquakes, and tornados present challenges.

    We have many great clubs here at Chino Hills High School. One of my favorites is the Polynesian club. I like watching them dance because it is really entertaining and fun to watch. Andrew Santos is a junior here at Chino Hills High and is in Poly. He is a junior officer for the club. What they do is teach people Hawaiian and Tahitian style of dancing. They practice at the school on Thursdays and Saturdays. Andrew got his inspiration for Poly by going to one of the luaus for his brother’s girlfriend. He had a lot of fun there and wanted to do it when he was going to be a freshman at Chino Hills High. He plans to continue it for all four years of high school. Now, he is an officer, which means he helps choreograph and teach…

    Language is the most important aspect of language for humans. Because languages are alive and always changing, they are intertwined with identity and culture. As people migrate and move to different areas, some languages split and converge to create new languages, while others die out and adopt more common and popular languages. According to Park’s lecture, half of the world’s languages are considered endangered. The origin of a language is what defines it, differing based on cultural background.…

    Throughout my entire life, I have been a part of a Hawaiian language immersion program in public school. This experience not only allowed me to become fluent in the language of my culture, but also allowed me to perpetuate the traditions of my ancestors. During my granparentsʻ and even my parentsʻ generation, speaking Hawaiian and being Hawaiian was looked down upon. Not many other young native Hawaiians are able to speak our language today because these prejudices persist throughout society, which is why I am grateful that I am able to. To me, this part of my life is an important detail to include in my application because it is an essential part of my identity.…
