Campus Comment: Who is your personal hero? BY HAILEY HUHANE

Hailey Hontanosas , a senior from Kahuku majoring in exercise and sport science, said her personal hero is her mom. “She has overcome a lot and has been able to live a relatively normal life considering everything she’s been through. It’s inspiring to know you can find happiness and live a normal life despite life’s traumas.”

Rahul Mungamuri , a sophomore from India majoring in business, said, “My personal hero is my younger brother because he is so honest, and he follows the commandments better than anyone else in the family. If someone gives him even $1 more in change than they should have, he would spend $5 to go and give back that $1. He doesn’t lie. He’s very strong in his beliefs.”

Anameere Tennaba , a freshman from Kiribati majoring in marine science and business finance, said, “There are a lot of people, but I especially admire people who are successful. Especially people from the islands who have become successful.”

Mike Ling , a senior from Hong Kong majoring in biology, said his friends are his personal heros. “They always help me pass through my difficulties. They are very kind, and they are all amazing.” Photos by Ho Yin Li

Atea Lee Chip Sao , a sophomore from Tahiti majoring in TESOL, said, “The person I look up to the most is my mother. For me, she is the greatest example of selfless love. I’ve never seen her complain. She’s willing to sacrifice what she needs for others. She is so selfless that even if she is in need of something, she would willingly give it away. She has a willing heart.” N O V. 2020
