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.

We need kindness now more than ever. Being kind is good for our soul.”

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.”

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.”

Adrienne Crowell (Airports)

“I LOVE this TEAM. Truly unique and so considerate of others. We recognize and understand each other’s kuleana and respectfully give support. We work hard at balancing our workloads. When one falls, another will come to aid. We encourage new ideas. We make time to laugh, to share, to vent, to cry, to listen, to teach, to eat. We enthusiastically participate in Foodies 101, Kaua’i Style! Always a different dish! We recently adopted a new slogan, “Don’t Be Busy… Be Productive!” With all the hardships we are facing today, it’s nice to come to work knowing someone’s got your back. Take care and stay safe, everyone!” Dale Hall (AIR-O): “This is my youngest daughter who I’m proud of because of her accomplishments in healthcare. She is my Hero, as she is an RN working at the VA Hospital in Palo Alto; she and other of nursing staff have been diligently giving out the COVID-19 vaccines. This pic was her 1st day in giving the vaccines; so far she’s given hundreds to veterans in the northern California area.”

Derek Chow (DEP-H): “My dogs make me laugh and smile everyday. The two used to chase each other around the sofa. So funny.”

Melanie Martin (OCR): “Our pandemic driven home renovation included the construction of a new she shed which I absolutely love!”
