Moanalua High School Student Association: 10/9: CHILDREN AND YOUTH SPEAK OUT AT SUMMIT!

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.

10/9: CHILDREN AND YOUTH SPEAK OUT AT SUMMIT!

The annual Children and Youth Summit (CYS) provided a means for students and adults to voice concerns as well as provide suggestions on how to improve five topics: Economy, Environment, Civil Rights, Health and Human Services, and of course, Education. Suggestions were discussed and narrowed to the most popular for each topic, then submitted to the legislature for further discussion and possibly lead to bills, and finally laws. The job of our officers today was to facilitate the discussions. We sincerely hope that these suggestions do eventually improve our quality of life in Hawaii!
