Personal Statement
It would be hard to find a more passionate person about being the best at just about every aspect of his life then me, Keith Kekahimeahemolele Haina. Family, Church, Academics, and Athletics are some of those passions that I strive to be the best at on a daily basis. Playing baseball at the collegiate level would be one of those passions and a level that could propel me toward my life goals and aspirations as part of the process of becoming a successful person.
I am the eldest of three children and understand that "ohana" or family is the bedrock of my being. The unique culture and environment in which I was raised in, affords me to offer a college program many things that others may not. I grew up in the church and attend seminary classes everyday at 6-7 am when most students are still sleeping. I understood at a very young age, as instilled by my parents, that education is what can propel you to your dreams which no one can take away. Taking that attitude everyday to school is what drives me to be the academic success I am today. I am a three sport athlete and am a leader on and off the field understanding that "leading by example" is one of the strongest characteristics a student, teammate, or person can posses.
Attending a college or university and give back to it, as much as I took away from it, would be my ultimate goal. Although I will play at most colleges, the best fit for my values, my baseball ability, and where I have a chance to play at the highest level of competition is where I want to go. Once the right college or university is found there will be no stopping my drive to satisfy these desires and I will employ my tireless work ethic into succeeding and ultimately graduating and achieving my degree.
