Personal Narrative: My Life In Hawaii

When I started writing this, I had no clue what it would be about. I was told “It has to be perfect.” “It has to explain you without you explaining yourself.” “You have to give it meaning without being asked for anything.” “If it isn’t good enough, admission officers won't give your application a second glance.” So, I put off writing it, pondering it over and over in my mind. I’m so glad I put it off, because until recently, I didn’t know what it was keeping me in Hawai’i. My mom lives in Oregon now, and I had the option to move with her because she still has custody. Something kept me here, though, and I wasn’t sure what. Through reminiscing and building more memories, I realized what it was. It was how much I love being Hawaiian. The food,

When you live on the big island of Hawaii for all your life, staring at a humongous volcano doesn't really strike any amount of fear. When I saw the active volcano warning on the television it didn't really phase me, but then the volcano erupted. It erupted not even five blocks from my house. I started to panic then.

I am a licensed CPA with over 20 years of experience and for the past seven years have been teaching at Kauai Community College (KCC) as an Assistant Professor in accounting. As part of a dual credit program held in spring 2017, I worked with Kyla Bandsma as instructor of the Principles of Accounting I college course taught at Kauai High School.

White foam spreads across a carpet of clear blue. The carpet rises, and the foam curves off the back and crashes to the ground. It travels back across a desert of sand and repeats its actions. The morning sun meets the surface, bouncing off and chasing the reflection of the birds flying. Screams of excitement run past me, their bodies wading into the deep blue. Fiberglass skimming across the top, breaking the perfect surface. There was no looking back now. My heart jumps as i follow closely behind. My arms moving fast, diving deep into the warm liquid. Eager to get to the Hawaiian Dives. We start to slow, the sharp, brown rock, marks the bottoms of my feet as i run across. My hands grip onto the rock as i throw my body up to stand. You could see everything from up there.

There is no other place I feel more at ease than at Kiawah Island. I have been going to this summer getaway every since I was a baby, and my love for this little island off the coast of South Carolina will never fade. When we roll up the driveway of 90 Jackstay Court, I feel a surge of elation, as I know I will be spending the next week with my family, cousins, and grandparents. I run my hands across the granite countertops where I can already smell the intoxicating aromas of a home cooked meal. First thing in the morning, my cousin and I grab our sand battered bikes, and start pedalling on the boardwalk to the beach. I’m careful on the narrow wooden platform, with the painful reminder of when I fell off into the brush. We hop off our bikes

As part of my networking, there are some high school classmates who I am in constant contact with. We all went to college and have our own careers in different fields. One of these friends allowed me to live with her for my first year out of college. Four of us played volleyball together. They are from Waianae, Kaneohe, and Waimanalo and they?re Hawaiian, Portuguese, and Japanese. Over the years, we realized we get our strength from our diversity. When we have a

I stood in the line that seemed to stretch for a mile long, cell phone in one hand, turkey leg in the other. Inch by inch, I slowly moved forward until I finally reached my destination: the famous Space Mountain roller coaster ride.

I am the middle child of sibling of 3. I Moved to Hawaii 1996. After 2 years, I moved to california Hawaii to go to school in 1998. I returned Oahu at 2005.

I start swimming before walking, so Hawaii is perfect place for me. I played

I hope you are fully recovered from your time in Florida. I am glad that we were able to share a true Polynesian cultural experience together.

I am a seventeen-year-old girl in Scotland in1752. I am orphaned, uneducated, unskilled, and impoverished. I have few family members and friends, and those that I do have are just as destitute as me. I have decided to leave my homeland for America because I hear that it is “The land of opportunity” and prospects for a better life in Scotland look bleak. My goal is to become a skilled dress maker working in my own workshop and living in my own home. I plan to take the dependent collectivist approach by selling myself as an indentured servant to a local ship captain, so that he can take me to North America so that he can sell me to the highest bidder. Once I get to America I will be healthy and in good shape all because of the profit the captain

It is the final day in our year long voyage to the Hawaiian islands. “Land ho!” yelled the captain as we approach the island of maui the date is 1844,December,13.We make landfall as all the anshus sailors get ready to charge of the bout and towards the nearest solune before they can the captain yells we will refit our ships and supplies then be of for Japan.The captain estimated we would be here for a year because the ship was badly damaged from a storm on our voyage from massachusetts .As i step of the ship i can hear a familiar voice it was my brother James as we greet each other he explains to me that hawaii is not the lawless place that we dreamed due to the whalers before us.

Growing up somewhere as beautiful as Maui has taught me the important values that define who I am today. One place and event specifically enlightened me of the value that I strive to fulfill each day, which is to live exactly in the moment. Prior to this moment I struggled a lot with anxiety and fear of the unknown and things that were out of my control.

“No, I promise I’ll be fine, Mari. I think a 26 year old male like myself, will do just fine in Hawaii.” At this point, I was literally placing all of my weight on my luggage in hopes of keeping it shut. “Barely zipped and ready to go. I’m just waiting for Anthony to get up.” “How are you guys doing by the way?” Mari asked, her voice filled with concern. “Oh, um. Good I guess. Nothing's really happened since last night except...nothing. Nevermind,” I stopped myself as I saw Anthony creeping over to my bed. I ignored him and hurried the phone call with Mari. “Well Anthony’s up now so we’re about to head out.” “Call me,” she pleaded on the other end. “Will do. Bye.” Anthony stared up at me in confusion. “We’ll pick up breakfast on the way, okay? You should start packing.” “Packing?” he questioned. “Packing for what?” “Did you forget? You and I have to head to Hawaii, and our planes leaving in 2 in a half hours. We’d better get a move on.” It took a moment for what I said to sink in, but he finally got the message and got up. “I’ll be ready soon. Just give me 10 minutes or so.”

I would love to go to hawaii bc it's just a perfect place to go, The temperature ranges from 80 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit, so it is the perfect climate! You will never get uncomfortably hot or too cold, you will be just right. Coming from a place where there is barely any sunshine in the summer, apart from a few good days here and there, having almost constant sunshine is a dream come true.The food culture of beautiful Hawaii is a melting pot of all the foods of the world. Dining there, you have your choice of the best seafood, or fusion, right all the way through to pan Asian cuisines. Even the fast food outlets are comprised of foods from all over the world, like rice and soy sauce. So it is not just your typical burger! Somewhere as popular

Adam slipped the yellow tablet under his tongue, intending to spit it out the first moment he could when Sophie wouldn't notice. He definitely didn't want to be under the influence, however was ecstatic that Sophie had taken it without question, and he hoped the euphoric effects would strike within minutes, and further lower her inhibitions. That was, if the girl wasn't already aroused enough to take a strange cock without complaint, which wouldn't have surprised Adam in the least. He'd discovered that it was too easy to maintain Sophie's arousal, and keep her under his influence, and the reminder of the trip to Hawaii was intended to only further confirm any misguided beliefs girl held that he valued her more than just as a meal-ticket. And
