A Close-up Look at Maui County's High School Athletics

• Hana High and Elementary School
• Grade: 12 / GPA: 3.4
• Sports: Softball, Basketball, Volleyball, Track & Field, Cross Country
• Future Plans: I plan to major in Engineering, maybe Mechanical Engineering.
• Sports Lessons: I enjoy being part of a team and having a role that affects them. I love the relationships sports have brought me and playing with people who play for fun and have fun for the love of the game. Win or lose, it’s the people (watched, cheered, played) that made it worth it.
Being a student athlete has taught me the importance of time management, working hard in the classroom and even harder on the field/court. There are times when you have to push yourself no matter what in order to achieve a goal you set. I have learned how to lead a team and to encourage my teammates.
