Aloha everyone, my name is Myra Mae Mimban from Honokaa High and Intermediate School. I’ve moved here in Hawaii almost 2 years ago from Philippines. It was hard to adjust specially with the language but I’m trying to become better and I’m willing to learn more, to achieve my dream to become a registered nurse someday. Philippines is far different from here Hawaii, before I used to speak Tagalog and iloko, but now I need to enhance my English language.

Hi, my name is Tasmar Maludrik but people call me tas for short. I Graduated  from Leilehua High school two months ago and am going to attend Leeward community college this falls. I plan to transfer later to UH manoa to major in nursing. When i was young I've always wanted to be a Doctor, I wasn't sure at what kind of doctor I wanted to be but now I know. I want to be a surgeon, I think its pretty cool to be a surgeon. They do a lot of surgeries to give people more time to spend with their families. When I was young I watched Gifted hands, its a story about how Ben Carson became a neurosurgeon and how gifted he was that he was able to separate two twins when their heads were attached to each other. He became my role model after I watched his movie. It was around that time when I decided that I want to be a surgeon. I would love to help out those in need just like Ben Carson. Hope to see you guys later in the future.

Recently, however, I've changed my ideal career to becoming a dental hygienist!

Hello! My name is Keithlene Anne Gregorio and I'm a proud graduate from Radford High School. I was born in the Philippines, but moved here at the age of 5. I would describe myself as a shy and introverted yet open-minded person but I do enjoy the company of those who I can connect with. I enjoy listening to music (I'm a K-pop fan but my music tastes can vary a lot depending on my mood and current interests) and watching Netflix (I like horror movies/tv shows plus some anime and I'm also a new K-drama fan). My favorite color is red and I really like anything matcha/green tea-related. I also love bubble tea! When I was little, I've always wanted to be a surgeon but later realized in high school that it would be too daring for someone like me who works decent (haha) under pressure. Right now, I'm focusing on my studies to become an RN but afterwards, study for a few more years to become a CRNA due to my love for medical technology and working with surgeons. I will be attending KCC during this fall semester and I'm hoping to transfer to UH Manoa after getting my ADN. I hope we can all get along, learn together, and have meaningful discussions during these two weeks! :D
