...Every year at Kamehameha we hold the ATP Ho`olaule`a. I always look forward to this because of the engaging activities and bonding done with my clubs. Aside from working with the 2016 class booth, I help with the Orchestra booth. Orchestra always gets the supply tent, so it turns out to be a fair amount of manual labor. I am always busy during Ho`olaule`a because after helping the supply tent in the morning, I have to meet up with the Kamehameha Dance Company and get ready to perform. Then it is usually back to help my booths again. Though I am busy I still believe that Ho`olaule`a is fun and creates time to bond with my class and people in my clubs. I am thankful for Ho`olaule`a and thankful that Kamehameha has given me the tools needed for...

...explorer who said to have discovered North America, but what many people fail to realize is that he was not the first to uncover the “new world,” another name for the Western Hemisphere, in fact, there were hundreds of explorers doing just that. This era of unprecedented European Exploration is known as, The Age of Exploration. The Age of Exploration started in the 1400’s, and the motive for the sudden venture is search for new trade routes, wealth, adventure, and a way to spread Christianity and the word of God. Inventions and Technological advancement, such as cartography (the practice of map drawing), astrolabe (a navigation system bearing latitude and longitude), and stronger ships with cartels for faster travel, also played an important role in this era. Many Europeans discovered many new cultures and lands and pushed their own religion and culture onto them, resulting in the disappearance of some societies. However, this is not a bad thing, cultures, such as the Hawaiian culture that was thankfully converted to Christianity, drowned newborns that showed any peculiar defects when birthed. The Age of Exploration had a positive effect on the New Worlds and Europe because both societies gained new goods, proper medicine was discovered, and Europe civilized the New World. The Age of Exploration was positive because both societies gained new animals, crops, and technologies. They gained such utilities by trading with one another. The most popular trade route was the route that involved...

...Before they Came One could only imagine how life on these pristine islands flourished 1500 years in the past. Subsisting in a land bequest with beauty found nowhere else on earth and teaming with victuals from both land and sea. Those first occupants might have existed here as much as 700 years before the next voyagers from the southern hemisphere appeared. As many as 30 to 40 continuous generations inhabited this archipelago hidden to the rest of the world. Moreover, for almost all (especially the latter) of these generations, this might have been the center of the universe, for they knew of no other existence. Only the presence of their own people, of their Gods, of the towering peaks that climbed endlessly to the clouds, found nowhere else in the vast Pacific ocean. Combining the sea, that encircled them from every direction and the “mana” (the land) that provided their permanent existence, they resided with an abundance of bounty. Mother earth could not have placed these “Jewels of the Pacific”, as they were coined some 1600 years later by Charles Lindbergh, with more isolation. At between 18’52” and 22’15” north latitude, and roughly at 154 to 160 degrees west longitude, they are set in the middle of the central pacific. Ultimately, with much irony, this strategic location, halfway between the orient and the western coasts of both north and south America, would prove to be one of the biggest impacts that would dictate the history...

...2010) The image above shows that volcanoes are created by hot magma that rises from the Earth’s core and expels through the cracks of the upper mantle and ocean crust. The movement of the Earth’s plates forms these cracks on the surface of the ocean crust. Every Island is made of one or more volcanoes that have erupted many times and emerged above sea level. A seamount is a mountain that rises above the Ocean floor that is of volcanic origin and does not rise above sea level. Most seamounts are formed from extinct volcanoes that have been eroded and grounded back down by waves. Loihi is an example of an active seamount that is currently being studied because of its assumed Island formation. Because Loihi is located before the Island of Hawaii, it is believed that it will become an Island soon enough. Loihi is slowly moving across the hot spot and growing from its continuous eruptions. By observing the growth of Loihi and the patterns of eruptive activity of older seamounts, geologists can study the growth of the Hawaiian Islands more extensively. (Normark, 1982) Figure 2: (Rowland) The image above shows a picture of Loihi, a volcanic seamount, that is currently sitting on the hot spot and growing. It is not yet classified...

...research. Over a thousand jobs will be given to the private section of the school for research teams, scientist, and faculty members but it will also indirectly grant more than six hundred people with jobs to construct the building. Another one of their goals, is to revitalize Kaka’ako with the help of the Kamehameha schools, Victoria Ward Ltd, and HDCA. They want to create a residential community for employees of the area and create a commercialized area. (Youn, 21-25). What they failed to recognize in both the past and future is the lack of help given to the homeless in Kaka’ako. The present is now and homeless people are a huge issue within this area. “Hawaii’s governor declared a state of emergency Friday in response to the state’s rampant homelessness” (Worland, 01). With the governor declaring homelessness as a state of emergency, you would think we would have programs getting homeless people into shelters and back on their feet. But it’s been a year and not much has changed. If we can’t get people off the streets, into homes, working, and getting back on their feet, how will we expect Kaka’ako to bloom and take off the way they planned for it to take off? “Hawaii has the highest rate of homelessness per capita of any state in the country with 465 homeless individuals per 100,000, according to a press release. The proclamation comes after $1.3 million was identified to fund the efforts.” (Worland, 01). It has been a year since this article came out. I go to Kaka’ako...

...EXERCISE I. What is a paragraph? Some of these groups of sentences are paragraphs and some are not. Read them carefully and answer the questions. 1- Iceland is not a place for the ordinary tourist. The landscape, for example, is bare and strange—though many consider it beautiful in its own way. Then, too, the far northern climate is not ideal for tourism. The winter weather is extremely severe and the summers are short and cool, with constant strong winds. The remote location also means that many products have to be imported and so they are expensive. However, the few tourists who do put up with these difficulties are warmly welcomed by the Icelanders. Is this a paragraph? _______ If it is a paragraph, what is it about? _____________________________________________ 2- For fewer tourists, lower prices, and more beautiful scenery, head for the Sagres Peninsula. The regional museum has a rich collection of costumes, weapons, and handicrafts. Buses will get you to most places, but for long trips, trains are cheaper and more comfortable. The Portuguese economy has expanded very rapidly in recent years, but it still has many problems. In the fifteenth century, Lisbon was a worldwide center of political power, religion, and culture. Is this a paragraph? ______ If it is a paragraph, what is it about? _________________________________________ 3. The two peoples of Belgium—the Flemish and the Walloons—are divided by language, culture, and economics. Hotels in Brussels are expensive...

...Barack Obama Dreams from My Father “For we are strangers before them, and sojourners, as were all our fathers. 1 CHRONICLES 29:15 PREFACE TO THE 2004 EDITION A LMOST A DECADE HAS passed since this book was first published. As I mention in the original introduction, the opportunity to write the book came while I was in law school, the result of my election as the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. In the wake of some modest publicity, I received an advance from a publisher and went to work with the belief that the story of my family, and my efforts to understand that story, might speak in some way to the fissures of race that have characterized the American experience, as well as the fluid state of identitythe leaps through time, the collision of cultures-that mark our modern life. Like most first-time authors, I was filled with hope and despair upon the book’s publication-hope that the book might succeed beyond my youthful dreams, despair that I had failed to say anything worth saying. The reality fell somewhere in between. The reviews were mildly favorable. People actually showed up at the readings my publisher arranged. The sales were underwhelming. And, after a few months, I went on with the business of my life, certain that my career as an author would be short-lived, but glad to have survived the process with my dignity more or less intact. I had little time for reflection over the next ten years. I ran a voter registration project in...
