I've learn many things throughout my first semester & i can't wait till' second semester to swing by because i know it will come fast. As my years of high school past i'm beginning to find my true place in this world.

Angry Letter Draft
Dear Kamehameha Shopping Center Administration,
I’ve been going to “Kamz”, as we call it, for more than 8 years now. Whether going there for groceries or even just to go for a bite, your services always have that Aloha spirit and kindness. But, overall Kamehameha Shopping Center has been a part of my life and has done such a great job serving.
However, we have encountered some problems throughout this year with one of most popular restaurants in the complex. This problem has happens to us many times. Whenever we would walk into Sumo Ramen, to eat in and have lunch we were never greeted. We would have to find a seat and seat our selves. The first time this incident occurred, is when my sister, my friends, and I went to go have lunch there. Waiting for about 10 minutes for the menus to be placed in front of us, the waitress finally sees us. Then after a couple of minutes the waitress calls us up and tells us to order up front, when we specifically told her that we were eating in. We were all confused the fact that we were coming in for lunch and not for takeout, so we let it slip and ordered our food. So far, we obviously weren’t too happy about the service and we were very concerned. It only then got worse when she brought out our orders out. Thinking we were going to get silverware and nice plates, which are usually used when you eat in, we got was takeout containers and plastic utensils instead. This made us more concerned. While we were eating, trying to enjoy our food, a lady and her daughter walk in. The same waitress greets them, seats them in their chairs, and places the menus nicely in front of them. She then took their orders and gives them water. Less than about 5 minutes their gyoza was in front of them; rather to us, we waited approximately 15 minutes for everything. We were finally done with our lunches, so we got up of our seat and started to walk out. Crossing the street to our parking space, the same waitress comes out of the restaurant and specifically tells us, “No! You guys have to come back and clean up!” in a very mean voice. We thought the waitress usually does her job and cleans up after the customers. We all weren’t too happy about the waitress telling us to clean up something that wasn't our job to do, so we ignored her and walked to our car.
We were very suspicious on why this waitress treated us this way, knowing Kamehameha Shopping Center has great service. We knew it wasn’t our ethnicity because the lady and her daughter looked the same ethnicity, just like us. So the only thing was our age.
As the week passed, I asked my other friends if they have gone through the same incident as ours. They told me that they have notice the same exact behavior on the same exact waitress.
Sumo Ramen is one of my favorite places to enjoy a bite, but I would suggest that the service there needs to be straightened up and have that Aloha spirit like all the other stores. Other than that this situation with teens eating at Sumo Ramen and getting this kind of treatment is still occurring.
Mahalo and Sincerely,
Micah Bulosan

Risky Buisness Essay

Raves & Clubbing
Rough Draft
Teen age life is basically the process and transition from breaking the innocence and transforming into an adolescent. Throughout this transition teens go through many obstacles, from making decisions, choosing the right one, and the “after-effect” of the wrong decision. This all ties into consequences. One of the new “fads” of the 21st century for teens is raving & clubbing.
Teen raving and clubbing have the same type of environment, but raving is the new type of clubbing for teens. With catchy techno music, variety of sexuality, cool dance moves, and friendly invites raving draws any age to it. This is a place where teens like to “be themselves” and “kick-back”, aside from stress at school and home. These raves are usually held on late Friday nights and weekends. Drugs and alcohol are kept secret throughout the rave, since it’s illegal. Because these teens are so connected and friendly, they create that amount of trust and comfort toward each other, which makes the process of peer pressure easy to try a “drag” of weed or to sip “some” chasers.
But it isn’t only just about the drugs and alcohol. Teens also go there for hook-ups and sexual activity causing date rape, rape, one night stands, and even pregnancy. Obviously this type of environment is exposed to a more adolescent foundation. Now what happens when teens make the wrong decision?
When teens hear the word “consequence” it just goes in one ear out the other knowing and neglecting the fact that they’re going to have fun. But most wrong decisions made, the end results are negative. Why? Because, getting caught in any illegal activity, especially from police, leaves long term effects. From getting grounded to spending jail time, it’s still a consequence. Even getting pregnant seems like a consequence because they made the wrong decision of having sex and now the long-term effect is taking care of an upcoming infant that doesn’t know anything, that doesn’t have a healthily foundation, and that doesn’t know that it was created by “accident”.
Lives are at stake, not to only teens but the future of premarital infants. Having fun doesn’t always mean to go out to a rave or club and doing careless mistakes. Fun comes in difference shapes and sizes The choice is theirs and making the right decision comes in part of the process and transition of growing up.

Revised Risky Buisness
Thesis Statement:
The consequences to rave & clubbing are always negative.
CON:
The consequences to raves & clubbing aren't always negative because you can make friends, learn different types of dancing, and express yourself.
PRO(s):
The negative consequences over weigh the benefits of raving & clubbing because it has many long term effects such as drug and alcohol abuse, jail time, and even death.
Raves and clubs are unisex. Males and females can enter. By this happening, it causes sexually and attractive activity. The consequence to that is a female getting pregnant. It's a big consequence and responsibility if a female gets pregnant because she is now liable for the infant.

Journal 10 College Essay
Sometimes I just sit on my computer chair thinking about my life. It may frustrate me; it may cheer me up, and even make me so frustrated that I scream my brains out. I scratch my head with the unanswerable questions and thoughts. And I still insist to get those answers for them.
I guess what mostly goes through my head is, why do people think I’m so typical? What’s typical is, guys liking chicks for their looks, girls falling for them, and then breaking up with them for another chick for their looks. But let me get this straight, I’m not your typical average guy.
I’m not perfect, but seeing what my friends go through is what’s typical. How they choose their boyfriends over friendship and then drift away then run back to us when they get hurt. Or when they listen to those who tell them what they want to hear rather to what they need to hear. That’s typical. I sometimes have a hard time relating to their situations but what’s weird is that I know how to answer them; I know how to treat them when they’re going through these conflicts, and I tell them the truth. Even when I’m built up to the top with school work I still manage to finish it all and have time for them. But I’m the kind of person that likes to leave that mark to remember. I like to be that person that you’ll remember. But people still think I’m typical, mark or no mark. I want to do something and prove them wrong.
I may surprise them with my cool editing designs, my amazing Photoshop skills, good grades, and more. But it’s like what else can I do? Is that it? Oh no, there more to me than just sitting on my computer chair and growing (what my teacher calls) ‘butt callus’ doing something slick smooth with things with Photoshop. I will do something, I know it’ll be soon, and maybe today is the day I’ll answers to those unanswerable questions.

Perks of Being a Wallflower
This book showed many ways of coming of age. From his aunties death to meeting new people. Charlie has been through it all. He meets Patrick and Sam that helps him discover a different world. He has been through good and bad situations like everyone. But hey, change happens and you can't really do anything about it but try to prevent it. But Charlie didn't, he wanted to explore, put some spice into his life. So he practically goes along with everything. I really like this book because it didn't give me that 'stereotypical' feel. Everything seemed true about this story.
