Where are you from?

“WHERE I’M FROM”
by: Linda Leifi

I am from brown, crispy, deep-fried chicken.
I am from juicy, well-done steak.
I am from red, polished, tasty hot dogs.

I am from a dark closet where I can play with my imagination.
I am from a back yard filled with plants, grown from my father’s bare hands.
I am from a kitchen with Filipino food made from my courageous mother.

I am from flowers that are soft-to-the-touch and sweet-smelling.
I am from pineapple-scented perfume sprayed by my girly sister.
I am from picking up, smelly droppings from my golden retriever.

I am from friends who sometimes shout “SHUT UP!” whenever I crack a joke.
I am from a mother who tells me “put your dirty laundry in the washer!” every time I forget.
I am from a sister who sometimes yells “I HATE YOU!” because of her spoildness.

I am from a soft, comfortable bed with fluffy pillows.
I am from a black remote, fulled with buttons, every time I go home.
I am from a stuffy, reserved-for-Linda, big, white, flowery chair.

I am from a strong, built up woman who blesses everyone she helps and understands Fono Mulivai.
I am from a person who inspired me to believe that I am “greatness”, and that I am determined of my future Kelia Gilman.
I am from a guy who believes that this world will get better, believes that one day we will reunite with our lost love ones and a guy who provides us with shelter, water, food, and clothes “GOD” himself.

Hale Pono’s Over Nighter at Wet-N-Wild

“The Wet-N-Wild Overnighter”

By: Sloan Scharsch

The Wet-N-Wild overnighter was so much fun.  From eating all you can eat, to free refills at the soda fountain.  We got to watch the ending slideshow, the Ink Heart movie, and do fun activities.  I enjoyed the balloon toss and the dancing, the most.   This was the last picture that we took as the whole club, featuring club members and junior leaders.  Thank you Hale Pono Boy’s and Girl’s Club.  You really made my summer super fun!
