I feel unique would probably be the most fitting adjective for describing Robert Yamane. I enjoy being challenged and never walk away from a problem that I know I can solve. Puzzles are great examples, but more importantly I want to be challenged in the classroom. Which is a huge reason why I want to attend Punahou. I personally…

began to batter me with kicks and blows by the flats of their swords. The fire now glowed with the radiance of daylight. Stark shadows danced erratically about me, taunting my inability to do more than lie cemented to the ground and watch as those I hold most dearly endure a most agonizing death. The muffled sound of infernal chaos and terror emanated through the walls of the church and into the night. For what seemed like an eternity the night continued.

Instead, I try to direct my focus on doing my best in the classes I am currently taking.

The present is the heart of my success, but I never lose sight of my goals. This is why mindfulness holds such enormous weight in my life; it’s all about the present. The research I’ll do for my group project will further…

My freshman and sophomore years were a bit rough, as I wasn’t big enough to field the lightest weight class. By the time I was a junior I was big…

“Go ahead and summon your sword.” He said. Nodding my head, I hold out my hand. Remembering what Gladiolus told me yesterday, I focused on my weapon. Seeing a bright light starting to form in front of me, I focused hard on my sword. When my sword appeared I took a hold of it. “After a while it’ll get easier for you to summon your sword.” “When you first tried to summon your sword yesterday, it was hard because you…
