This year's Executive Council decided to celebrate the holidays at California Pizza Kitchen in Ala Moana. The evening started off a little different as traffic woes prevented almost everyone from getting to Ala Moana by 6:00, but thankfully, the CPK staff which by coincidence included three Moanalua alums helped get everything to us as we arrived at different times. By 6:30, we were all set. The food was great, the Secret Santa gifts were unique, and we all had fun! Happy Holidays to anyone checking out this entry!
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.
