The school activity that I have been most involved in would have to be Marching Band. I’ve done this activity for all 4 years of high school.

compared to the few other times I’ve had at the river was that it looked like the water level within the American River was rising. After witnessing this it brought to mind how happy river rafters would be to be able to continue to experience what they love. Overall‚ this experience in the rain with the wildlife really opened me up to the reality of it all and what living animals have to endure when they get a little too much rain. A lot of the wildlife that I spotted were for the most part either cuddled

With the help of the Point Foundation‚ I was able to afford my Bachelor’s‚ but the inherent politicization of

My experience with Accelerated Reader (AR) is not long‚ but I started doing ARs when I got to Leilehua in my freshman year. At first‚ it was difficult for me because I did not understand much English; therefore‚ when I took my first STAR test‚ I got a low reading level and I felt disappointed and dumb. The first time I took an AR I failed with a 60%‚ I was afraid that I would not meet my deadline and it would affect my grade. But somehow Leilehua’s AR system got me into reading culture. With the

The earliest experiences I had with mental disorders came from within my own family‚ my aunt always felt troubled. When we would go to the grocery store she would often believe that others were talking about her‚ even when all evidence was to the contrary. I would ask my mother about this and she explained that she suffered from paranoid schizophrenia at the time I had only the most rudimentary understanding of what this disease does. My aunt suffered every day until her dying day‚ whether it was

My first experience with a dog was when I was 7 years old. One day I was going to go help my dad with some work around the house.
