When I was in EE160, two pledges entered the classroom and told us about HKN. I decided that day that I would make it one of my goals to become a member. Specifically, I'm looking forward to the networking, friendships, and professional development opportunities that HKN provides. Q: Where is your hometown and favorite place on the island? I was born and raised in Butte, Montana, but my current hometown is Kaneohe. My favorite place on the island is Waimea Bay, because it is absolutely gorgeous. Q: What video game / movie / TV show would you want to live in and why? I have to go with the Matrix on this one. You can pretty much bend reality any way you want. How cool is that? Q: What would you like to accomplish the most from your “bucket” list? I would love to go hang gliding somewhere in the Rocky Mountains, but I would also love to downhill ski in the Swiss Alps. I can't choose which of these I'd enjoy more! |
