Describe a memorable learning expierence?
The Sweet 16 competition for the STN convention at Anahiem California was truly a memorable learning expierence. The sweet 16 was a competition where broadcast journalism students from all over the US had to create a package using a word from the 16 words given to us. We had 16 minuites to pick the word and we had 16 hours to create a package. It felt like the iniation to being a broadcast journalism and it was super intense! Being around students who were doing the same thing you were doing!! Even though it was my first year I learned a lot from making a really good pacakge among all the pressure my group and I were facing.

Ideal school?

My ideal school would be a school that took out all the subjects or classes we do not need. A school where we learn what we really need to use in life. I would want a school where for some students who know what they want to do when they grow up can pick courses that will help them prepare for the career they want. Or maybe they could have programs like how menemac does but for like people who want to be in the nursing or business program. I would learn the best if I was learning whatnI really needed to learn and to not be rushed by teachers! To be given time to do the work in class and not be shame to ask for help cause I might sound stupid

My passion is writing. I feel that my passion is writing because I am actually good at it and its an alternative to expressing how i feel and giving me good grades at school. I absolutely love to write: When it comes to poems, quotes, venting on my tumblr as well. I also like finding out others people's writing as well like on tumblr so I can excel in my writing skills. Writing soothes the pain and makes everything feel better for me. Sometimes when writing a vent or piece to myself or on tumblr it acutally sounds good and interesting.

I believe essay draft

High school; Where education is priority, freinds are made, and where life lessons are gone through, taught, and learned. High school is pretty much life. High school teaches everything you need to know in life when it comes to passing classes, finding a job, or being a good friend and student. I believe in high school and the traditional American school system; 5 days of school in a week and 4 years of high school that includes freshmen, sophomore, junior, and senior years. I am happy about the free education America has given to its potential world leaders (students). Students in America can go to school for free and absorb all the things we need in order to succeed in life. But controversy over new school policies in Hawaii will make me appreciate school so much more.

"Its Furlough Fridays at Moanalua High school Now." Is what I kept hearing at school around the begining of last year October. It was actually Furlough Friday for all public schools in the state of Hawaii and it would be going into effect at the end of October. Hawaii's government had cut off one day of school to help with budgets for the economy. That would not mean not having school on Friday for certain weeks of the year. That would mean a student's day at school cut off, a student's learning and education as well. But there's more than that. Hawaii is also thinking about having 3 years of high school and cutting out our senior year. Horrible isn't? We already have one day less of school on certain weeks then your going to cut off another year as well? Where will all the learning go? Where will all the education go if you cut off even more?

I believe in high school; I believe in a failing grade but improvement. I believe in taking tests, raising your hand in class to anwser a quedtion. I believe in high school events; Going to home coming games on Fridays, dances, winter fans, and the famous junior and senior proms. I believe that students are the up most potential leaders of the earth. I see us as rocket scientists, lawyers, ministers, business people, entreprenuers, singers, actos, and models. I see us making a change in life. I see us finding a cure for cancer, saving earth from global warming, and finding peace in the Middle East and giving help in developing countries. But cutting opff more time in school won't let us achieve these wonderful dreams.
