A Close-up Look at Maui County's High School Athletics
Trending
• Molokai High School
• Grade: 12 / GPA: 4.09 AP English
• Sports: Soccer, Cheerleading
• Future Plans: I plan to continue my education in California to study Communications and Environmental Studies. I will continue my journey in sports as a volunteer for the youth with programs like AYSO.
• Sports Lessons: What I enjoy the most about being an athlete are the bonds made. The bond with your sport, team-mates, coaches and school is a very impactful experience. Being an athlete has allowed me to grow mentally, socially and physically. Each loss and win has taught me to maintain a positive mindset. Each mile ran has taught me to breathe. Being captain taught me to be a leader and make fast decisions.
