Losing is a part of your life. Every time you fall, stand up, wipe it off and keep on going. Society is not that beautiful for people, so be prepared for that. Family to me is the most important. Number one pride is family, number two is family and number three is family. Making things happen for the family, education is part of it. After the opportunity I took, now 25 years later, I’m here sitting. I’m trying to help kids, and use them to spread the message to the community. Everyone in Konishiki Kids is one of my messengers. You have a choice to do good or bad, choice to go school or not. If you are doing good right now, carry on the good work. If you are having hard time, keep on trying. I’m proud of be in Waianae Coast, and I’m always being proud of it. Don’t stop where you at right now and keep on going. Sky is unlimited, so be anything you want. But please remember one thing, bring back to the community. Waianae Coast is beautiful place to live in. 25 years ago when I left, my house didn’t have shower room and kitchen. We cooked and showed outside. Look it today, it proved everybody that we all can make it. Life is serious and a school is serious. Do what you have to do, and just move on! Please don’t be a tail of the pack! Please be a head of the pack!! KONISHIKI February 10, 2007 at the 10th Anniversary Party
