This semester I had an aha moment that kind of woke me up, and I had to just jump right into it. It’s not a really big thing but being the communication person in my Kahiau group forced me to step out of my comfort zone. I had to set up the date for my group’s service day which required actually contacting a stranger. When I made the phone call I remembered that I had to be professional about it. It went well, besides the fact that I did not have all the information I needed to know. This was a good opportunity for me. I think my leadership skills were tested, and in this situation I was able to work with what I had and learned how I could improve.
What motivated me to appreciate this project was the opportunities that came with it. It forced me to do what I never thought I’d enjoy. Like I mentioned before, I was my group’s communicator. Making the phone call and communicating through emails made me excited because I was seeing what I could do unfold in front of my eyes. It felt good to do something on my own. When it came to our service day and we were in the loʻi doing work, meeting new hoa, and learning so much I realized even more how much fun I was having. Also just getting out and experiencing the community was so humbling for me. I can definitely say that i'm excited for our next service day and connecting with the ʻāina is another one of my many motivations for this project.
