Favorite YT Memory:
Too many to pick a specific one. Hmm… Let’s see. I enjoyed getting the chance to meet people from all over the nation. People asking me really random questions. Some of my favorites were, “Do you have cars in Hawaii?” “Do you have clothes in Hawaii?” “What do you guys eat and how do you get food?” “Do you have stores?” It was all so funny. And just for the record, we’re normal people like the rest of you. Another favorite memory was people attacking me for my “ALOHA” stickers. Good times.

Favorite YLC Memory:
My favorite memory of YLC would have to be our whole group. I’ll never forget being part of the 2006 YLC. I love all you guys. We have some good memories. Also, I really liked the little talent show thing we did. It was all fun. If people told me earlier, I would have learned how to do the hula just for that. If we ever have a reunion, I promise to dance the hula for you guys! And I know we’ll never forget the “blue cards.” I think that was the most times I’ve been turned down in my life. But it was all good. Aloha!

Favorite Movie:
Memoirs of a Geisha

Favorite Song:
“Good Times Together” by Kealii Reichel

Favorite Band:
I really like Hawaiian music. I like all the local-style bands (the words aren’t Hawaiian, but it has a local style beat to it… try it sometime).
