• King Kekaulike High School

• Grade: 12 / GPA: 3.5 AP: Psychology, Environmental Science

• Sports: Basketball, Track and Field, Volleyball

• Future Plans: I plan to continue my education. I would like to study something in the medical field, possibly nursing, preferably in Pediatrics.

• Sports Lessons: I love being active and staying in shape and pushing myself and my teammates to be the best version of ourselves while building strong relationships and friendships. I enjoy the healthy competition, learning inter- personal skills that can be used on and off the court, and the feeling of making and achieving challenging goals.

Being an athlete has taught me teamwork, how to be a good sport, stay positive, and how to learn from constructive criticism. Participating in sports is character building. I have learned confidence, discipline, how to be a leader, and how to work hard and never give up.
