LEADERSHIP: IT'S NOT ABOUT REWARDS; IT'S DOING WHAT IS RIGHT EVEN IF NO ONE ELSE ACKNOWLEDGES YOU!

2022 MOANALUA HIGH SCHOOL LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE (above) The Moanalua High School Executive Council is made up of fifteen volunteers. VOLUNTEERS! While officers are elected, they choose to run knowing that if they win, there is no physical reward, no letter grade, no incentive other than the pure satisfaction of doing a good job and representing the student body. At times, we achieve great success while at other times, we achieve somewhat less, but it is always a learning process. While we can take away much satisfaction from doing a good job, we can also learn from mistakes and try to better ourselves the next time. And so, at the end of our terms, while we do not earn a credit, a letter grade or even a certificate of achievement proving our accomplishments, we can take away the self-satisfaction in knowing that we did our best for the students, school and community, and that positive experience is something we can really use as contributing adult members of society.

12/14: LUNCH AT TSUKIJI'S!

Lunch was great; Ryan packed it away!  Secret gifts were
also "interesting," including some....unmentionables!
Now, off to shopping we go!
This year's annual SA Dinner was....LUNCH!  For the past several years, the officers celebrated the holiday season at a Saturday evening dinner which often posed a problem.....getting into town with heavy traffic from holiday shoppers.  So, this year, it was lunch on a Friday exam make-up day.  While traffic was not much of a problem, transportation to Ala Moana was.  Maybe another thought for next year?  Anyway, almost everyone made it and enjoyed Tsukiji Fishmarket's sumptuous buffet and the secret gifts.  Happy Holidays to all, and see you in 2013!
