What Do You Love?
Juli Chun (Administration): “I love my annual Waikiki Hotel slumber parties with my sorority sisters! We share food, fun and laughter while we explore Waikiki together. Many great memories!!!”
Ericson Bautista (Highways: “I Love When I See
True Random Acts of Kindness. To me, Hawai’i today is not the same Hawai’i I remember when I was a kid (many decades ago lol). We are living in a society of misconceptions and irrational values. A society: Where being “bad” is cool, and being kind is weak. Where being a “real man” means to be overly-macho and treat women as inferior. Where we are quick to criticize and even quicker to condemn. Where instead of having accountability, we point fingers. Where we only do good when we are being watched. Where we teach our kids to be bullyingly tough, but not compassionate. Where we seek to be understood rather than be understanding.
Rachel Roper (Highways): “I love my home, Hawaii. I especially love having the mountains and ocean as my playground, the nice weather year round, the ono food, and the concept of ‘ohana.”
We need kindness now more than ever. Being kind is good for our soul.”
Lynn Araki-Regan (Administration): “Having learned Japanese classical dancing since age 7, I love and look forward to dancing at upcoming obon festivals to honor my ancestors and other loved ones.”
