Moanalua High School Student Association: 2/28: FAMILY ASSESSMENT A GOOD PLACE!

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.

2/28: FAMILY ASSESSMENT A GOOD PLACE!

Yes, at first it seemed a bit sketchy, going to a homeless camp in the evening, in Kaka'ako, high school students, mostly girls....a recipe for something bad to happen!! And then IT HAPPENED! Something wonderfully GOOD! This "camp" was actually a transition center for homeless families looking to transition into permanent housing. The "residents" were friendly (Sorry, can't show any), we got a cooking lesson in using a Dutch oven, learned to make popcorn in a theater popcorn maker and yes, watch Frozen II. But the best part was actually being able to interact with the residents!
