For my family and friends who like KNOW:My 17 year-old niece was accepted to attend Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and UH-Manoa. She decided to attend UH-Manoa. By the way people like Ken Conklin etc mistakenly think that I am pro-oiwi and pro-iwi because I am a product of UH-Manoa Hawaiian Studies program which is pretentious considering that I graduated from one of the best public schools, the University of Washington. It only shows you how racist and MEAN some people are though LOLWell I am set to come home to help my niece Makanamaikalanimai. I will be there to accompany her because she didn't grow up in Ko Hawai'i Pae Aina which in a way is a GOOD thing because she was not exposed to the HATRED directed towards Hawaiians. Knowing what I know about PEOPLE I would not trust the public school system in Hawai'i with the life of MY YOUNG child/ren. IMHO it is a detriment to their HEALTH and to their LIVES. That is partly why one of my many goals is to adopt/hanai as many oiwi children as I possibly can because I KNOW what they face in Hawai'i. I would not want that for ANY oiwi child.One good thing is that based on phenotype she does not LOOK Hawaiian:
This can be a good thing considering how HATEFUL some people are towards Hawaiians. This includes some Hawaiians who are racist against other Hawaiians based on their phenotype and/or on their name and/or what THEY want to be and/or do. To limit our keiki is to LIMIT OUR KUPUNA where "keiki" is "children of Wakea, Papa, and HALOA." Let them GO. Let them FLY. Let them soar because for them to soar is for our kupuna to SOAR. Or is it just ME? LOLShe attended a high school for aviation, enrolled in Honors and AP classes, and graduated with honors. Ironically when she was a little girl she would always tell my twin sister and I that she was going to attend UH LOL She intends to study engineering at UH so I hope the GOOD LOOKING braddahs at UH no distract her LOL She said that she would eventually like to earn a PhD in engineering. BTW her father is an engineer so it's all good! I want her to immerse herself in olelo matuahine as well as in hula while she attends UH-Manoa... not just in engineering LOL IMHO she could not have chosen a better school. I know I know I am biased but many oiwi students are unable to afford tuition at UH so I am upset about that they do not help ALL oiwi students in that way so of course I will be upset LOL My niece is in good hands at UH-Manoa though. She could not be at a better place. The only thing is that there are so many HATEFUL people in Hawai'i. That is what concerns me because I do not want these pilau people to kill her SPIRIT which some people do often in Hawai'i. Always gotta peck peckpeck criticize criticize criticize. Always gotta try keep DA Hawaiian down. It's disgusting.However I am confident that she will hold her own. After all like me she is a tita. Like me... if she can handle the East Coast she can handle ANYTHING hahaOf course I told her that she needs to TAN HER LEGS LOL Well my father is SO dark and I am so light/fair skinned so I know how it is to be so fair skinned and yes I LAUGH LOL I also told her to be humble and for her to NEVER step on her kupunas' bones in order to get ahead and/or to survive. Under any circumstance that is a HUGE No-No.In any case I am coming home next month where HOME=HAWAI'I LOL Of course a reason why I am coming home is to be there for my niece. I will be showing her where to go and where NOT to go LOL Hopefully go surfing with her.Her name is Makanaimaikalanimai and though she looks WHITE she is HAWAIIAN. Always gotta have jerks though haha No worries though because like me she is a TITA.After that I will be working on my 14 year old niece, Mahinaokalani. She may be the first oiwi woman who goes to outer space LOL I actually wanted her to go into the sciences or law then she told me that she wanted to be a producer and director. This summer she is attending a prestigious art summer school for six weeks. They interviewed the students and accepted her to attend. She also told me that she wants to be an astronaut so that is one of the many projects that I will be working on LOL As in ENCOURAGING an oiwi child... NOT DISCOURAGING THEM because THEY are our future. After that I have my other niece Kamehanaokala. As well as five year old Kekaimalu and four year old Kealani to work on later LOLLately I have been telling my five-year old nephew Kekaimalu that he needs to HOLD HIS GROUND. Stand firm. Do not back down. He turned around and told me, "Aunty you just want to turn me into a man." I laughed inside then told him, "No Kai... I do not want to turn you into a man. You are a little man. One day you will be a big man" LOL They amuse me.Latahs!
