All her life which is only 12 years, Ive prepped her that she will go to a private school. Punahou was our #1 pick, I mean c'mon who wouldnt want to go there. So I went through the process of getting applications for 3 schools Punahou, Iolani and Mid Pac. Filled them all out, talked to to the admin at all schools so much that I know them by first name. Got some contacts in at punahou. Got letters of recommendation. So basically I got the works. She is a great student and should be a great athlete if she pushes her self. So we were crossing fingers, Toe's and everything that she would do well on her testing... Well it didnt even get that far.
So the night before I was to mail out her app’s I fasted and prayed about what is right for her and our family as a whole. Because it just accrued to me that not only will she be making sacrifices But so will our whole family. Whether it be picking up the slack because I have to go get her from school or just her time away from all of us. So the next morning when she got up I said “ You are going to be a Red Raider For Life”… Ive never seen her jump so high in my life.
Im not saying that private school is not a good thing, Im just saying that for my family it wasn’t the best choice. So she is now riding her bike to Kahuku on the brand spankin new bike path thanks to HRI.
If one thing I know she’ll get at Kahuku that no other school will have is FUN, FUN,FUN!!! Hehehehe. She’s happy and Im happy that the school is only 2 ½ min’s away.
And if my kids are good in anything I would want them to make our community school good or even better!!! So good luck to everyone this school year.
