seasons of paddling, and hope to continue it once I’m in highschool, and paddle to represent Punahou’s team! I even paddle two seasons a year, once in winter for the Makalei club, and a more serious summer team, Lanikai. Both seasons I compete in races, and bring home medals for my team!

So we got to the middle of the lake and filtered the water that we had needed and were going to row back and we had started to paddle back, or we at least tried. Little did I know what such mild winds can do to affect the current of the water. We rowed as hard and as fast as we would yet were barely moving, the thought of being blown away was not a happy thought. I dug down deep

The Terrifying Canoe Ride in Turks and Caicos Have you ever gotten stuck in the middle of ocean? Well, I have. It happened when I was only 10 years old, in the middle of the summer when I was on vacation in Turks and Caicos. While I was there, I was so eager and excited to canoe. It was one of many things you can do that the hotel offered and I kept bugging my mom and my siblings to do it.

Day 9, September 1, A.D 78. I awoke, feet sore, mouth dry. All of the sudden, I hear growling noises! “Oh… It’s just my stomach, again.” I exclaimed. This is how I wake up every morning on the roads of Pompeii, my new home. My pockets empty, nothing much on me. You can tell I am not the richest of folks, I am in fact the lowest class. Life isn’t very fun being a slave but hopefully that will change soon, currently, I am not respected, no one ever makes eye contact with me and whenever I say hi, they

“Life is not measured by how many breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breathe away.” - Dr. Maya Angelou. To others this quote may spark an image of a serene beach overlooking a breathtaking sunset, but to me, this quote entails my fond memories of going to a haunted mansion and school field trip off to the wilderness.     The chilly October breeze brushed our faces, while twinkling stars studded the night sky. My bucket was up to the rim and the chances of getting a cavity were

We were going canoeing. I was giddy with excitement. The entire day had been filled with exhilarating fun, and to top it all off, canoeing! I admit, being at a two-day camp with my fifth grade classmates was enjoyable. Really enjoyable. However, it also had its downs; I had gotten ready before everyone else in my cabin (as usual), and that meant I had to sit on my bunk and wait for everyone else, jiggling my leg impatiently.
