Aloha !
As a first generation American citizen, I am very blessed and thankful to my parents who sacrificed a lot in order to give me and my brother a better life in the United States.
I am fortunate to study and compete in Paradise, at the well known Punahou high school.
My dream is to make this world better through science and personal example, which is hard to achieve without a healthy brain and body.
It is hard following in my brother's steps, who is a dual sports freshman athlete at an IVY league school,
but I am a hard worker and I know the most important characteristic of successful people is grit !
My positive attitude has brought me few "Most Inspirational Athlete" awards during my high school years :-)
Mens sana in corpore sano !
