School: Lahainaluna High School

Grade: 12

GPA: 4.0

Sport: Soccer

Future Plans: I plan to go to the University of Hawai’i Manoa and study to become a Registered Nurse.

Sports Lessons: The one thing I Iove about being an athlete is the escapism. Sometimes life can become extremely busy whether it is with work, academics, extracurriculars, or future plans. But the two to three hours I have playing a sport I love with my teammates lets me forget about all of life’s worries and

rejuvenates me to accomplish and strive for excellence in all that I do. Being an athlete has taught me leadership and discipline. As captain I have strived to show leadership and guidance for my team and to have a sense of discipline to mentally and physically manage practices, games, and other activities such as academics and extracurriculars.
