Q: Where is your hometown and favorite place on the island? I was born and raised in Honolulu, where most of my friends and family live. My favorite place on the island is Chinatown because of all the great memories of shopping with my grandparents and the rich cultures, history, and foods mixed into the area. Q: What video game / movie / TV show would you want to live in and why? I would want to live in the TV show Blacklist. It seems exciting to be an FBI agent that helps a secret task force take down the world's top criminals. In addition, the task force has the FBI's #1 most wanted criminal as an informant. Q: What would you like to accomplish the most from your “bucket” list? I would really like to run in an election for a government position. Seems like an exciting thing to do, plus I'd be able to meet a lot of new people and hopefully help my community if I won. |
