Moanalua High School Student Association: 9/5: OKINAWAN FESTIVAL FUN!

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.

9/5: OKINAWAN FESTIVAL FUN!

Haisai! The annual Okinawan Festival at Kapiolani Park was the site of our first project of the year! A total of twenty officers and volunteers helped man the bounce rides. Because they were set up the day before, many of the rides were infested with lizards which our crew bravely "expelled" so that the children would not be afraid to enter. It was somewhat hot but still lots of fun and we got to meet so many happy children! We hope to do this again next year! Thank you to the Hawaii United Okinawan Association for allowing us to participate. Guburii sabira!
