Here is a little bit about me...

• Well I was born and raised in Hawaii, I have a
  mother and a father, a half sister which I
  consider my FULL sister since I knew her all my
  life, and I also have a step father and a step
  mother, oh and I also have a step sister (my step
  mothers daughter). I switch houses during the
  week, unfortunately I spend less time at my moms
  house than my dads because it is sooooo much fun
  at my moms house. I am 14 years old and a
  Freshman in Moanalua High School, I am in a
  special program called MeneMac. I have one best
  friend a few good friends. I have two hobbies or
  sports, but I do not really consider them sports.

Here are some values of my culture

• My family does not really have any different
  cultures, we are pretty mediocre. My moms side
  is pretty different from my dads because she
  believes in Buddha and my dad believes in God. I
  believe in Christianity even though my mother
  wish for me to believe her beliefs. When my
  mother and I go to my grandmas (on my mothers
  side) I respect my mothers wishes by praying to
  Buddha or making her think I do.

6
Some more values of my culture

• Even though my mother believes in Buddhism she
  likes Christmas too. I think she likes it
  because she gets gifts. Like how I said earlier
  my culture is like most others. We have
  thanksgiving dinners, celebrate Christmas, watch
  fireworks on 4th of July and New Years day, and
  other celebrations.

Aliens are invading our beaches!
There are really aliens that have already invaded
our beaches. The Gracilaria Salicornia, a
non-native seaweed, is choking out our native
reef in Waikiki.
These are not real ?

• A solution that had came up is to take out the
  seaweed by labor, but if we do that then where
  are we going to put it?

10
Aliens are invading our beaches!

• The solution of this project is to take out the
  Gracilaria Salicornia by manual labor and send
  the Gracilaria Salicornia to taro farms for
  fertilizer and a green waste firm that makes it
  into Menehune Magic.

This is how you get to where I am at

• If you live in any where that is not in Honolulu
  then you will have to a catch a plane to Honolulu
  airport, which is 2118'32" North, 15749'34"
  West (21.308950, -157.826182).
• Ill probably be at Salt Lake.

12
This is how you get to where I am at

• The Hawaiian Islands are east of Taiwan and west
  of Mexico and south of Alaska.
• Salt Lake (the place I will most likely be) is
  close to the Aliamanu Schools and is up the hill
  from 99 Ranch (its by Bobs Big Boy) and my house
  is across the park on Ala Ilima street.

13
What is Hawaii like?

• Hawaii is pretty cool because like 99.99 of the
  people who live here are nice and then there is
  that .01 which is the weird people that talk to
  themselves. The weather is so great it is almost
  perfect, it hardly pours rain and not like
  theres any hurricanes.

14
Some more stuff on what Hawaii is like

• The architecture in Hawaii is pretty nice theres
  some old buildings like the Aloha Tower and Queen
  Liliuokalani Palace. Then theres the more new
  and advance architecture like the Hawaii
  Convention Center or Hawaiian waters!

15
We are pretty advanced in technology.

• Hawaii is pretty advanced, we are most likely as
  advanced as the rest of the U.S.. We dont live
  in little grass shacks or anything like that. We
  live in little houses or apartment buildings that
  go really high. As much as we need to we dont
  really walk around much, we rather drive!

16
Some more examples on how advanced we are.

• Like how I said earlier Hawaii is pretty advance
  as U.S.. We have some really cool stuff like the
  iPod Nano, Play Station Portable, portable DVD
  players, and much more! Our computers are
  advance as the ones in the main land and the same
  with our televisions.

This is what my life is like

• As you can tell I have many family members and
  unique cultures and that there are some
  environmental problems in paradise. I have also
  showed you that it is also a little difficult to
  get my house, but I hope I was descriptive about
  my houses surroundings. I have also described
  what Hawaii's people and buildings are like. I
  have also showed how advance we are in technology
  and how far Hawaiians advanced in architecture.
