Share a challenge that you have faced (big or small). How did you handle the challenge? How did you grow from it? 
The biggest challenge for me was spending almost two years learning online because of the pandemic. At first I loved it, but over time I felt like I was gaining nothing. It's nice to be back in person and have a near normal school experience again. Over the course of the pandemic I feel like I learned a lot, especially I feel like I gained a lot more responsibility. This is something I never thought would happen, but maybe this was something that needed to happen in order for me to grow and become the person I am today.

Share a challenge that you have faced (big or small). How did you handle the challenge? How did you grow from it? 
In life I have never tried to strive for any goals. I have been able to be self aware and I have learned that I need to take control over my own life. This has made me struggle with school work, but I started to take more notice of things and I began to pick myself up. This has made me a stronger person. Now I strive to do better every single day.
 
Class of 2024 Treasurer 
Brackett, Leila
 
Do you have any previous leadership experience? If so, please explain. If not, please explain why. 
I try to step up as a leader whenever I can because it allows me to develop helpful skills in communication managing tasks and deadlines. I don't have much experience in having an actual huge "leader" title, but taking charge in certain situations like team projects is something I enjoy doing. I'd like to be more active in being a leader and I think this is a good opportunity for me to do that.
 
What function does Kealakehe ASB serve on our campus? 
Kealakehe ASB helps make students feel connected to the school and involved with decisions. ASB is really important because it gives students the voice they deserve to help make campus the best it can be. They organize special events for the school and other things that can help make school feel fun and exciting.
 
Why do you want to be in ASB? What skills, talents, or qualifications do you have that would contribute to ASB? 
I'm currently a freshman, and I think being in ASB would be a really good experience for me to develop leadership skills and grow as a person at the same time. It would be a great opportunity for me to help others feel comfortable at school. Overall, I would really like to take this opportunity to make the upcoming year as great as possible. Something about me that I could contribute to ASB would be fun and new ideas for different aspects of the school year.
 
Share a challenge that you have faced (big or small). How did you handle the challenge? How did you grow from it? 
One of the biggest challenges has been my first year of high school and the volume of work. It's a big change from my previous years, and the standards are also much higher. I'm still working on it, but so far I've handled this challenge by getting help when I need to and leaning on others for support. Not only this, but I've gotten better at removing the things in my life that are weighing me down, which in the long run helps me focus on what matters to me, including my schoolwork. Having to face this challenge by making changes to my life has been a real learning experience. The best thing that I've gotten out of it is the realization that it's okay to remove things that are in the way of my personal growth and success.
