I have had much experience with costumer service, preparing drinks, and with following orders. As long as being a good decision maker and reliable employee.

From the age of 8, I started a fundraiser for my teacher who recently had lost their home to the 2018 Lava flow in Puna. Although I also had lost mine and had left me with unbelievable sadness and pain, I still wanted to make sure my teacher and his family would be provided for. Even if I only raised a little money, I was happy to help them in any way.

I then started my now successful lemonade business in 2019. I started it in front of where my mom worked, then we expanded to maku’u market. Which was EXTREMELY successful, now it has been 6 years since I started this business. I have learned so many things, one of the most useful things I believe I have learned is costumer service. I have just recently lost my best friend, my dad. He died of a heart attack at the age of 42 in July 2024. I am still devastated and in disbelief, but I know he would want me Focusing on my future. Although I am only 14, turning 15 in February. I believe much

of my painful childhood and many other things, has made me more mature for my age. Even since my dad’s passing, I feel I have grown.

My goal for Highschool is to graduate from HAAS one year early. I am in the process of taking college courses to do so. Then, my plan is to go to college in the UK. So, I am trying to work any chance I get to make money for my future.
