Aloha Kakou!

On this Passion journey, what were some highlights or lessons that were observed:
  • Students who shared their passions spoke with confidence, know who they are and what they want. They have goals, dreams, and plans. They articulated their passions to others. 
  • Students who attended years of language classes/music lessons unwrapped their passions that resulted from years of discipline and routine not recognizing it as a livelihood.
  •  Students learned to have an open mind, and to have a willingness to try a variety of things, because passion can come from being curious and it can expand from that. 
  • Most importantly, students learned passion is high energy, and contagious. Passionate people will go above and beyond for something they believe in.  Passionate people are resilient, and are driven by purpose, passion and enthusiasm. They have grit.

On that note, I'd like to say, thank you all for sharing your PASSION. . . and grit.

Mahalo Kakou, Rae Tang

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...
