Weekly Blog #6: Normal is the New Boring

Hello ‘Ilima

     Another week gone and everything has slowed down a bit. Flag Football has been a normal routine and there hasn’t been a lot of events. But the future has many events as there is a secret project in the works, along with a tour to teachers. We are touring Campbell teachers and we started the planning. I’m going to be giving a tour of the Band Room which my end up bad as I have never even stepped foot inside the building 😕 But I’m touring with Jabeez and he knows the room so he can teach me. But besides these events, nothing has happened. My group worked ID machine and it was fine. I like working the job as it’s chill and easy to learn. Classes were also fine but one of my classmates are leaving. But we had a new student to take their place. The new student doesn’t speak English but we were able to translate our work to them. All of the others didn’t really have anything to talk about. Lastly, there was at least something new in the making. This new thing was the Ish Battles for intermurals. I got to be in the ad so that was pretty cool. But the highlights come from the before and after. Football is back and I am so excited. I became a fan near the end of last season so getting to watch a full session will be fun. My team, the Buffalo Bills, lost the first game but we will come back. Then, on Friday, was the Ohana Fair. The Ohana Fair takes place at Holomua Elementary School and I went with a lot of my friends. I had such a great time and I got to meet some of my old teachers. Everything about the event was great and I can’t wait for next year’s Ohana Fair.

     A highlight from this week would have to be football starting and the Ohana Fair. Both were so fun and exciting. I can’t wait for more football and I will be waiting for the next Ohana Fair. If I were to pick something school related, it would have to be the Ish ads. It was fun teaching some of the others how to play and taking a photo for the ad was long but funny. A lowlight would have to be my classmate leaving as they brought so much energy to the class and I’m going to miss them. 

     A lesson I learned from this week was photography skills. During Flag Football, I finally was able to take photos by myself and it taught me some good things. The main thing was angles as on multiple occasions, I would have bad angles which made the photo worse. A good trick I had was to go on the opposite side of the field that the team with the ball were on. This made it easier to take better photos. Then the next thing was zooming in. I was always either to zoomed in or out which made a photo less dynamic. The best thing I could do was step either away or to the action as it easier to get the perfect shot. This concludes my blog and I wish you the best of luck. Cheers to another day!

Hello ‘Ilima You’ve been traveling on foot for the past couple of days now and you are starving. Your supply of water ran out and you are desperate for a resting place. Out of the corner of your eye, you see a wooden cabin. You knock on the front door and an old man answers your knocks. He had gray, curly hair and has a built stature. His eyes look tired and his hands look dirty. “Oh hello there, do you need anything?” You explain your situation and the man lets you in. He allows you to stay in his house for all long as you needed to. You wash up in his bath as he prepares you a meal. When you are clean, he gives you brand new clothing in order to be more comfortable. As you start eating the food, the old man asks you about your journey. You explain how you have been looking for a purpose in your life and went on a voyage to explore the world. “I think I have a story that can help you.” the old man tells you. You interest is piqued and you want to hear what he has to say. “It all start...

Weekly Blog 3-7 (60): Meeting of the Victors

Hello 'Ilima What is up ‘Ilima! This week of school was much more of a ramp up week as next week is the big one. But that doesn’t mean this week wasn’t full of stuff to do. The biggest school event would be the Graduation Meeting. During this meeting, parents would learn about the 8th grade graduation and learn about the different parts of the graduation. There wasn’t very much to do as a leadership member, but it was still good to hear about the information for my graduation. That was the only school event, but I still had a bunch of class work. First, we have had this project in Computer Science where we need to guide a robot from one point to another. This project has been pretty frustrating at times because the robot sometimes just doesn’t do what you want it to do. And it’s hard to make changes to your programming because we are sharing the robot amongst the whole class, making it difficult to see the changes you make. I wish we had multiple robots in order for us to be able t...

Weekly Blog 3-6 (59): Shopping for Tests

 Hello ‘Ilima What’s is up! This week was only 4 days long, but was still full of many things. Starting with Leadership related things, we had the second Recognition Night of the year on Thursday. There was a lot less people this time, but it was still fun to cheer on the people who got good grades. I had gotten a 4.0 and walking up on stage was cool. The most interesting part of Recognition Night was what happened before it as me and some people from Leadership had fun doing random things outside. We had a race, listened to music, and more. Moving onto school stuff, we had the Science SBA this week. I was pretty anxious because I had no idea what to expect for the test. So when I first opened the test, I was met with a lot of things that I had not learned before. But I endured the pain and after two classes, I finished my SBA with Level 4. It was a terrible experience, but at least I got a good score. Final thing I will mention is that there was an ELA poster that we had to create...
