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.

11/10: WHO REALLY WON THE TALENT SHOW?


Well, according to the judges this morning, the winner was Chase Lihilihi and Ciera Lihilihi, but the reality is, there were so many great acts that the judges had a difficult time finding the top three places.  In fact, the top five scores were very close.  ANYBODY COULD HAVE WON!  But for the record, the Lihilihi sister-brother dance duo did place first (top photo), the dancing Buted brothers, Micaiah and Joshua placed second (second photo), and singer Niki Badua placed third (third photo).  Looks like it was a good year for siblings!  The other talented acts included the Giana Dickinson, Christine Falcon and Amber Kaholoa'a vocal and ukulele group; Tyler Ramos on piano; dancer Henry Harrison II; singers Patricia Mae Early, Elisha Miyahira, Niki Badua, and Lauren Cabrera; and dance quintet Alichka Basmayor, Lyle Cortez, Johser Jan Pacer, Kirk Urada, and Alexander Yi.  Congratulations to all participants and best wishes to the Lihilihi's in the State Brown Bags to Stardom finals!  A special thanks goes out to sponsor Chun Wah Kam and owners Steve and Sara Wong for generously donating the overall prize money of $600.00!  Look for today's show on OC16 in late November!
