The two of us spent everyday roaming around the island of Oahu that we were so blessed to call our home for most of our lives.

Healthcare systems is a very complex and important to today’s society. It has made a huge impact for many years and without healthcare systems, society would not be the same. Two major milestones in that history of healthcare I feel are important is the Accordable Care Act, (ACA) of 2010.

I will start with the history of tourism on the island, then how Hawaii is portrayed through marketing and…

During my 19 years of life, I’ve attended 7 different schools, lived in a total of 9 houses, owned 12 cars and trucks, and was a bridesmaid in my mother’s wedding. I was born on January 1, 1997 in Kailua Kona, Hawai’i. At the age of 5, I was blessed with a baby brother, Shayne, who is now twice my size.
