I have to wake up everyday and have motivation and know that it is possible, I could win the whole race.

I remember the first time I landed in Maui, as I got off the plane I was greeted with tons of hugs and beautiful handmade leis from my other family members, followed with a question that I have become very familiar with from my grandparents, “Are you hungry?” Of course who wouldn't be after spending over nine hours cooped up in a plane with tasteless and overly expensive airline food. I didn't really know what was in Maui since it was my very first time visiting, so of course I left it up to my grandparent to choose a place to eat at.
