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.

To be honest, it was not as difficult at cleaning Pouhala Marsh and in fact, it ended up being a lot of fun.  Volunteering at the Equine 808 Horse Rescue (590-1210) involved painting stables and cleaning out the horses' water containers.  While that seems simple enough, the painting involved getting into the stables WITH the horses, and the large water containers were, well, large and bulky, and water was pumped by a generator which meant low pressure.  Still, we got to work alongside the horses and other animals and learned a lot about the history and mission of the horse rescue.  Volunteer there if you ever have a chance!
