kihei charter class of 2024
Freshman AutobiographyMy name is Sua, I enjoy having collections of random things I like, my mom occasionally calls me a hoarder. I have a decent sized shoe collection ranging from jordans to slip on vans. I also enjoy collecting jewelry for accessorizing, specifically rings. My recent obsessions includes books, plants, and record vinyls. My favorite record that I currently own is The Slow Rush by Tame Impala. I only have a few books and plants in my room but little by little I hope to expand the varieties I own. My favorite genre of books are fantasy and adventure, I love comic books and manga as well. Two physical hobbies I usually do in my free time is go out skateboarding in Kihei and sketching when I get inspired or have an idea for an art piece. I do a bunch of other little crafts such as embroidery and watercolor painting, which I learn how to do through tutorials on Youtube. My favorite youtuber is Shmoxd, he has taught me how to make lots of cool things and got me into graphic design around 2 years ago. My favorite TV shows at the moment are The 100 and Teen Titans.
I live with my parents and little sister and two pet bunnies. I share a room with my sister Nea and it can be really fun, especially when we agree on how we want our room organized. My oldest friend Cesar used to live with me but I recently moved this year and I don't get to see him as much. We play lots of video games together and do homework, sometimes with Shayne. Shayne is my best friend who I met in the beginning of middle school. Even when COVID-19 wasn't around we wouldn't hangout much outside of school which was fine because we would facetime every other day while also seeing each other at school every weekday. I have two other friends who go to Maui High who attended middle school with me but they switched schools. I'm really close to my cousin who is only a grade below me, but acts very mature for her age. She sometimes comes over to hangout with me and Nea and I always really enjoy her company.

My favorite subjects this year are The Fundamentals of Art and Design and Biology. Biology definitely challenges me and makes me think but I love when I figure out and understand the topic we were learning about. I also really like my biology teacher this year, Ms. Wilson! I love art because I already draw and paint in my free time which just makes this class 10x more fun. Last quarter the assignments we received were exciting but also educational, they definitely helped improve my skills in art. I'm really interested in learning more about engineering and coding because I hope to pursue a career in software programming. I am currently in a program to help me accomplish that dream called CompuGirls which I found out about through the school. Some universities I have in mind are Columbia University, Georgia University of Technology and The University of Manoa, which is close to home.

Recently my hobbies have consist of collecting music in the form of cds and records and learning 한극어 (korean language). I'm still into indie and rock music but lately I've been listening to korean pop. My favorite cd I own is the Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings Soundtrack. As for learning korean, I only recently started this school year in August. When my school week is not too busy I like to dedicate at least an hour to practicing my vocabulary, dialogue, and writing. I've already learned 한글 (korean alphabet) and now I'm working on verbs and nouns.

In the beginning of August I visited Cancun, Mexico with my dad's side of the family. This was the first time we had gathered together all in one place. We got to visit XCaret Resort which was an amazing experience! After that we stayed at an AirBnB were I bunked with my sister and grandma. It was convenient because I could wake up in the morning and just knock on the room next door to hangout with my cousins. This was one of the best trips ever, I'm glad I got to spend that time with my family.

Hi, I finally made it to my senior year of high school. I am currently enrolled in two high school classes and two college classes MKT 160 and MATH 135. I had a great season of volleyball this fall and now I am on to my main sport paddling for the winter. I hope to be seat 2 because I enjoy helping seat 1 lead the pace as well as turning during our half-mile sprints. My hobbies are going to the gym with my friends Jordyn and Luna, going to the park to play tennis, trying new foods, and hiking. My current career goals are to get a bachelor's degree in business and potentially minor in software engineering. I plan on taking two years at UHMC and then transferring out of state. I still have my two bunnies Ryuji and Mugi who have still yet to give me little baby bunnies. They are well and still love to cuddle and eat 24/7. Another goal of mine is to save up for my first house/apartment. I'm not sure where I will be in 5 years, but I would like to buy my own place by then. I love living on Maui and will definitely always return no matter where life takes me. Wrapping up my senior year I had a great tennis season, I completed my senior project and I finally made it to South Korea! Which has been the best trip I have ever taken. All that’s left is walking across that stage with my friends and peers who all have a long journey of self discovery and accomplishments.
