Columbia University and University of Irvine , California-
Describe the world you come from — for example, your family, community or school — and tell us how your world has shaped your dreams and aspirations..
From the mighty Great Walls of China to that snap shot of the Effiel Tower, and from the ringing echos through the Grand Canyon to that podium of where lady Liberty stands today , my mind lingers about how big this world actually is but come to realize that i live my own life in my particular world.
An unique setting like no other of palm trees swaying and waves washing up on sandy beaches, I call this “little rock” my home. I have been through many by living my life in Hawaii. From diverse cultures, unalike weather and education to my beloved friends and family, life values and respected religion, I’ve gain countless life experiences that i hold in my heart forever .
This state flows with many colors of skin from all over the world. I have built all kinds of relationships with these people and learned different ways of life because of how we all grew up. We take part in eachother’s nationalites by the foods we eat, the accents we mimic, and to the style of one another. We are closer than we seem because of how the “aloha spirit” takes action in our hearts.
My world revolves around school because i take my education very seriously no matter how it seems. I know that i won’t be in school for a long time because eventually in life we all learn to grow up and move on in life. Spending my years in school has been a remarkable chapter in my book. From my fellow classmates to massive events and activites, I choose to take the path of my school years where there are tons of memories and no regrets.
I am so very grateful to have a family to come home to every day and night. We all develop life values together that we all need to learn to become healthy and happy people as we grow up.
As the pages of my life keeps flipping, I am aware of what kind of person I have become through the creation of being in my world today. Collecting of what has been given to me and what i have earned, I take control of what i want to be in this world and the spot i hold in it. Because of the life in Hawaii, i have been given ideas of my interest are since I have been through so much. I learned to express to myself in many various ways and by the compassion of helping anybody who is in need of love and care. I wish to show the world my practice of being the person i am today and will maybe influence the minds of other people.
I believe that no matter how big or small your world may seem the whole world itself is still together as one today. I believe that no matter where you may come from or how you may look, everybody should have their chance to shine on this Earth.

Journal #9
The novel i'm reading in my lit circle group is called 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower'.
I believe my novel is a "coming of age" story because the book is told from the first person view of a freshman boy growing up in high school. He writes in this journal about how he feels and what he goes through in high school. For example, he writes about meeting new people, crushes, drugs, sex, partying, family and of course school. Which of course all of us high school students are dealing with now today in our lives. Charlie is introduced to the world of growing up and learning how to survive in high school.

Journal #8
The process of applying and getting into the college of my desire will be very tough and challenging. The reason for this is because i would like to make a big impression on the schools im applying to and another reason is because it will be very competitive earning your slot enrolling into a college with MANY other students across the US and even maybe world to attend that same college. From scholarships to college applications, i believe everything else will reflect on my college essay. Besides all the money and grades, i will get my chance to express my feelings, thoughts, and dreams of attending the school of my desire to the college committes.
I am not totally sure of what is suppose to be in my essay, but i plan to talk to Mrs. Mau when i get closer to my senior year in the college and career center. But i'm thinking that in my essay i will include my past experiences in high school or i could include my passions even before high school. Also i could introduce myself and what kind of student i am inside and outside of school. For example my GPA and my hobbies/intrests. And lastly i should explain what i kind of person i will be when i walk out of their university to show them that i worked hard being on their campus for at least 4 years.
Like i said before i dream of attending college in the mainland to experience how life is like not being on a "rock". California would be nice :)
