Who is your personal hero and why? "My personal heroes have influenced my life in so many ways. My big brother, Layne Oshiro, has taught me so many life lessons and just being such a great role model to follow. He has shown me how to be a better person every day. My grandma has also always been there for me every day and has shown me the love and support I needed to get through high school. I couldn't have done it without either of them and all my friends. Thanks!"
