Question 6: “Give us a few of the most important things that you have learned during your stay here in Hawaii as a whole . ”
Me:
#1 . If you need an answer to a question, you should ask . No need to be ashamed of for inquiring about something that you want to know . Ask it away . Give yourself that benefit of that doubt .
#2 . Be open-minded . The more you learn how to understand others and be considerate, the easier you will be able to get along with them . Especially that I am in an environment with people from all over the globe. That’s the secret to gaining friendship and trust with your roommates and colleagues at work.

#3 . Be yourself and never apologize for the way that you have chosen to live your life. That’s what I love here . You are entitled to be able to express yourself. I was able to broaden my skills and talents and I was able to discover what I truly want to pursue in life . Who would have known that my first grade drawing skills would get me a degree in Graphic Design today? I thank my wonderful mentors (Auntie Ruth, Uncle Isi, Sis. Saenz, Bro. Skaf, Sis. Helekunihi) for helping me discover that natural artist in me . Mahalo!
#4 . Learn how to ride the public transportation . I totally love The Bus! Once you are on Bus 55 (Circle Island), you will always be on track. :D I know it takes like 2 hours to get to town but hey, beggars cannot be choosers . Unless you have amazing friends (like my cousin Rommel) who can give you a ride once in a while.
#5. It’s okay to cry once in a while. When you miss home, it’s okay to cry. When you get your heart broken, it’s okay to cry. When you hit your toe, it’s okay to cry. When you have a paper due tomorrow and you haven’t done it yet, it’s okay to cry while you finish it (who’s fault was it anyway? :P) Crying is never a sign of weakness. It is a reminder that we are still alive.
