One of my first memories was going to Hawaii when I was four. It was the middle of summer in 2004 and my dad came home with exciting news. He told my two brothers and my mom that he had business meetings in Hawaii, and that he was taking all of us with him. He worked for Infiniti and had business trips all of the time. My family was excited and couldn’t wait to leave.

My motto was to be friendly to everyone because I wanted to make friends. At that time, I don’t think Yutan got very many new people because everyone seemed a little scared of me. Not because I was big, though, just because I was
