Brainstorming YOUR Passion



What did we learn in finding a passion among middle schoolers?

  • Many students couldn't distinguish the difference between passion and goal.
  • Some didn't have interests, collections, or talents to talk about.
  • Others didn't include elementary music lessons, foreign language or sports activities.

Aloha Kakou Post #3!  Ohkay, Don't I feel silly, for being a clueless blogger! 

Everyone's blogs I opened are mind-blowing and super impressive.

I've done everything opposite about creating a blog.

Maybe I should've read Bloggers for dummies.

Hopefully, I'm inspired to step it up next week. ðŸ¤ž

Kala mai, for making my first three posts a hard read!  Rae Tang

    "The only person you should be better than is the person you were yesterday."

    My senior quote that I sometimes forget to live by everyday! I always remind myself this, when I get to overwhelmed or feel like whenever I'm doing something, it doesn't amount to anything. This saying makes me focused on myself, my passion, my endeavors, my journey and no one else's! It's easy to fall prey and compare your self with others, I have been guilty of doing that many times in the past, so don't beat yourself up if you ever do that, at one point in your life you will succumb to it. However, it's being able to bounce back from that negative mindset/thinking and focus on becoming a better you, while ignoring all the irrelevant people in your life will make you more happy! ;)

      Aloha! I wish you left your name, so I could address you properly. With that said, I love that quote! I also, love your story. Absolutely, resilience! I can certainly sense when others see and feel that positivity in you, they will bounce back that same energy to you. Believe you can, and those around you will too!
      Mahalo for sharing!

Finding YOUR Passion

  We believed January 2021 was a year of New Beginnings . . . and things will change.   President Bided would be a part of that change with unity, heart, and healing.  Amanda Gorman stole the hearts of millions with her passionate poem of "The Hill We Climb".  It was a no-brainer, when we assigned a passion speech project for our middle schoolers. What did we learn in finding a passion among middle schoolers? They didn't have any. Couldn't distinguish the difference between passion and goal. Many students did not have any interests or passion about anything in general. Students involved in extracurriculars outside of school didn't consider sports/activities/talents a passion even if they were active since elementary. "Follow your passion" is a cliche and problematic advice in the 21st century. We need to encourage our teens to develop a passion rather than follow the passions of others. My purpose for this blog is to: Reach out to others and share how th...
