County of Kauai Mayor Derek S.K. Kawakami Aloha, and congratulations to all of our Kaua‘i graduates! We are so proud of you for overcoming adversity and working so hard! Life is all about overcoming challenges and relishing the good times. The beautiful thing about life is that you are the author of your own story. Your story will have ups and downs, good times and bad times. But you will get through this because we are one community – we are resilient, strong, and support each other. There is nothing that is going to break your stride. As the author of your life, your story has just begun. I want to wish all the graduates the best of luck. I believe in you. Your family and friends believe in you. The island of Kaua‘i and her people believe in you. You are the future. I also want to thank all the teachers, faculty, coaches, parents, aunties, uncles, and friends – everyone who has been part of your story up to this point. Whatever you decide for your future, get it! Don’t allow anyone to hold you down, feel comfortable in your own skin, make sure your compass is pointed in the right direction, and always strive for your goals! I cannot wait to see your next chapter. God bless, Aloha, and congratulations. Derek S. K. Kawakami Mayor, County of Kaua‘i
