Life in hawaii is easy for me compared to Kahu in NZ. Even though Kahu is younger than me the life people and community is different. My parents spoil me and I'm always usually just hanging out or doing what i want to do. Where as Kahu it seems like she puts everyone before her and is always helping out. One thing i think Kahu and I have in common is tat we both have families that weened to deal with. We are in different situations but we still just want everything to be alright in the end. Kahu has a lot of ambition and is very determined to be equal to everyone else but due to her great grandpa not being pleased with this she keeps getting pushed down. In hawaii i don't need to worry about being equal i have everything i need schoolfriend
