Why I Came To Hawaii

Moving to Hawaii is a dream come true for many people. With sandy beaches as far as you can see and diverse, exciting culture and foods to explore, the Hawaiian Islands provide spectacular views and fun things to do for everyone. The actual moving process requires a lot more planning than moving to a new state in the continental United States though. The residential moving experts at S & S Delivery Inc, located in Honolulu, HI, answer some frequently asked questions about moving to Hawaii.

Hawaii has always been a place with my fondest memories since I was very young but the last time I was there I experienced something that has changed my whole point of view on swimming in big waves. I have now gained a whole new respect for the ocean.

THESIS: I would like to tell you a little bit about myself by discussing what it was like to grow up in Hawaii and move here.

I live in a place where most people would call a dream; A place of beauty, a place of Aloha. Growing up I learned to never take Hawaii for granted. To be from Hawaii means to be surrounded by it's traditions and it's culture. Hawaii is more than my home, it is a part of me and who I am.

Last week I arrived at Hawaii or the Sandwich Islands and when I got there, all the native Hawaiians had poorly choice of clothes since it showed a lot of their skin. Since we were sailing for over 4 months, they were incredibly kind and nice to share how they live with some of my friends and me. My hair has grown down to my rib cage since the last time, I saw you my hair was only down to my shoulders. I have lost 21 pounds by just carrying heavy boxes and a printer and everything else off of the ship and eating scarcely. My bones were aching yesterday so, I asked the Hawaiians if they have any medicine. Unfortunately they didn’t, but the good thing was that the nurse we brought from the ship was in the next house and she had some. My friends

“I’m sorry Mommy, I promise I won’t do it again. Please forgive me.” this was all I could say. I had no excuse for my actions.

The capital of Hawaii is Honolulu (the star on the map shows where the capital is). People have a nickname for the state, they call it the “Aloha State” The current population for Hawaii is 1,360,301. It's pretty small compared to some of the mainland states. Hawaii is located at (21.3000°N, 157.8167°W). Honolulu is 4,957 miles from New York City. We acquired Hawaii in 1959. What happened was a group of sugar and pineapple businessmen, aided by the American minister to Hawaii and supported by U.S. soldiers and marines overthrew Queen Liliuokalani, the last reigning monarch of Hawaii. Two years later, the Republic of Hawaii was established as a U.S. territory making Hawaii our 50th state.

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 traveled a lot and have seen many countries. Therefor I am familiar with many cultuers and thire foods. I have never been married and have no kids. I have a 90 year old Grandma and two elderly aunts here Hawaii. I am obligated to take care of them when they need my help. I live in Kahal area. It is a very quiet neighborhood. We are surrounded with expensive houses and rich families. I have active lifestyle. I have been active my entire life. I enjoy outdoor activity, especially if it involves ocean and beach. I start swimming before walking, so Hawaii is perfect place for me. I played

At the age of 12, my journey to Hawai’i began as my parents decided to become volunteer missionaries without pay. I left my homeland of South Korea, along with my childhood, friendships, memories, and identity. The thought of moving to Hawaii was exciting but I was too naive to know what leaving meant. I landed on the black rock of Hawai’i in the middle of the Pacific Ocean under the blazing sun. Stepping off the plane led me to my first interaction with English speakers which left me bewildered and clueless. I approached a beautiful tall lady with blonde hair, hoping to get directions to the restroom but I only knew how to say "hi", "yes", and "no". Six years later, my friends in Korea and kids from Korea ask me: “How do you speak English

I’m from Hawaii, a volcanic island where lava bubbles up like a molten spring of fire and stone. I was born to a Hawaiian father and an American mother. We lived off grid in the district of Puna near the billowing smoke of Kilauea. Puna is like the wild west, a rugged, rural area. It isn’t uncommon for people to grow their own food and raise their own stock. Many live off generators and small catchment tanks for plumbing. I remember going out in the night, flashlight in my mouth, right hand on the generator keeping it steady, left hand pouring gasoline, then furiously tugging at the string to start the generator. It was best to complete homework before nightfall so you wouldn’t have to rely on lights that could go out if the electricity died.

I’ve lived in Hawaii my whole life, and it would be pretty unusual if I haven’t experienced any speech to text problems with my computer or smartphone. Many people recognize Hawaii as a melting pot between Asian, American, and Hawaiian cultures. This creates a large number of different language speakers and words. As Emma mentioned, many of street names in Hawaii are Hawaiian or Japanese names and thus, make it hard for devices to recognize their names. My own home address is no exception. The name of my street is Kuaie St, but when I try speaking to Siri to see if she recognizes the name, she comes up with some bizarre street name that isn’t even in Hawaii. She once mistook Kuaie for Cooley St. in New York. Even the Microsoft word program

“Shawn have you ever heard of Hawaii?”, my father asked while we sat down for dinner. At that moment I already knew what was about to happen. My parents had been “joking around” recently about moving but I could tell that the jokes were progressively getting more and more serious, and this scared me. “No” I replied trying to avoid the subject. “Well it’s an amazing place, and your dad just scored a job transfer there and me and him are pretty set on it now.” I was distraught, I didn’t even want to think about leaving all of my friends and family that lived in texas.

I heard in school that Hawaii was amazing and I would like to go to Hawaii to try their food so I would know what it taste like. I also want to learn how fish live and see different types of fish and feed the fish. Another reason I would like to go to Hawaii is because I would like to climb a volcano and have fun, and take pictures and explore it. And I would gently swim in the ocean because of the sharks, see the ocean and drive a jet ski.

It was an early morning in antioch california where I was vast asleep at my grandma’s house. Until my father suddenly woke me up and said “we have to go” and that's how it all started. So I got up and got dressed, ate little bit of cereal and hopped outside with my bags. “Oh my god” I said as loud as I could without waking anyone up around us. There it was A LIMO FOR ME I almost fainted until grandma said “this is just the beginning. We got in the limo and started our adventure. About a 2 hour nap later we arrived at the SFO airport around 8am. I got my bags and said goodbye to our amazing driver, then walked right through those electric airport doors with the biggest smile ever.

I can just picture it now the sandy beaches, beautiful sky, and I gagging because the salt water that got in my mouth was disgusting. When I went to Hawaii I had the time of my life. There were just a few things that were annoying, but I spent all of it with my family and that’s what mattered.
