What is the most important thing you want the judges to know about you?
Hawaii is the most isolated place on Earth, yet it is home to a wide variety of peoples and cultures. Growing up in Hawaii is a unique experience that has shaped much of who I am. The United States is a country made of multiple nationalities working and thriving together, and Hawaii is a smaller scale of this notion. Living in the islands has inspired in me a true appreciation for others and acceptance of all our differences.
