Marlene Choi This I Believe In high school, there are many types of people you will meet. There are the popular kids, the nerds, the athletic jocks, the theater guilt kids, and many varieties of other cliques. In highschool, it is difficult to “fit in” in order to be accepted to a group of friends. Many feel left out or feel that they don't fit it based on their personalities or physical appearances. During my high school years, it was often difficult for me to make new friends because I was…

across where you must decide whether to stay quiet or speak up. Most of the times I decide to stay quiet and turn the other cheek, but during the summer I decided to step out of my comfort zone. In April my boyfriend bought us tickets to go to the Ohana Music Festival in Dana Point California. This was the present he gave me for our three year anniversary and it was the best thing that anyone has ever given me. I was extremely excited because my all-time favorite singer, Lana Del Rey was going…

Same-sex Marriage What is the meaning of family? Since our childhood we see programs in television that usually portray a ‘traditional’ family. However, since a few years ago Disney channel, the most popular channel for kids, has taught us that “Ohana means family” said by Stitch, an alien. So the question that we should ask is what is the meaning of family today? What is the conflict between gay and straight families? Should we allow gay people married at first?

Ethics within business are important because they reflect the overall values of the company and the individual. I acquired ethics in my life through my childhood, sports as well as through family and religion. Leadership, morality, and a deep care for others are among the most important ethics that have helped shape me. Success in business is no longer simply achieved through profits; rather an ethical practice, and ethical employees drive success on a much more meaningful and impactful way.…

Many innocent families didn’t deserve to experience this horrible pain and sacrifice. Throughout the Holocaust, Jewish families struggled to stay together and survive. The German Nazis forced the Jewish families into being separated into different camps. The genders would be separated once they got off the trains and go into different camps. For…

Community is “a social, religious, occupational, or other group sharing common characteristics or interests and perceived or perceiving itself as distinct in some respect from the larger society within which it exists” this means that a community can be anything.

1. Family “Ohana means family. Family means no one gets left behind.” (Lilo and Snitch) This quote describes the true meaning of family not what Webster describes in their dictionary. My family is one of the ten rooms in my life because I know that they will always be there if I need them and I will always be there if they need me. We have each other’s back no matter what and we put family before everything besides God. I will always cherish my family even when they are gone. Having a family…
