Today was an experience. We went to Waiorea college, which is like high school for us. At the start it was incredibly intimidating. We waited outside to be welcomed in, and when we entered the sound of their voices was literally shaking the room. They were so loud and strong and passionate and good. That was a wake up call that we really need to step our game up. What I though was funny was that these kids all seemed so serious and angry when they performed, but then we had lunch with them after and they completely changed. They went from these loud, angry voices to normal kids with lots of questions about what Hawaii is like. It was a really fun experience. The kids were super friendly and welcoming of us, complete strangers to them. The main thing I saw was how proud these kids were of their culture, and how they weren't afraid to show it at all. It's inspiring to me, because it makes me want to feel that sense of pride about being Hawaiian. -Noeau Machado
