I am glad I am got to know everyone since I was hired in October. This is not to say that the process was not difficult at times; I honestly was not initially prepared for how much work goes into editing, especially electronically. It took a lot of focus and a methodical approach to work that, even in doing well in school, I had never really used. I learned more about grammar, structure, and even those pesky bibliographies (kind of kidding!) that I had never known. Nevertheless, I finally learned how to use Google Drive, and I really enjoyed working with a variety of authors. These awesome people were open to the new experience with me of getting their fascinating and diverse papers ready to be in top shape for publication! Still, none of this would have been possible without the amazing Hohonu team that let me participate in their journey, including vibrant meetings and events! I am so thankful that I was able to be part of such a hardworking, patient, and good-humored team! Thanks so much!! Sincerely, Annalisa S. Ching v University of Hawai‘i at Hilo HOHONU 2018 Vol. 16 Being a general editor for Hohonu has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I became active in student life, more outgoing, and sharpened my grammar and editing skills. The selection process for this year’s issue was grueling, and we had so many amazing papers to choose from; each paper I read taught me a lot about the students who attend University of Hawai‘i at Hilo. We are diverse, cultured, and intelligent on every level, and the 2017-18 issue, Vol. 16, greatly reflects this. To the authors who were published this year: thank you so much for submitting your academic work and for being extremely cooperative and hardworking throughout the editing process. Without you, there would be no Hohonu issue, and for that you are greatly appreciated. I also want to give a huge mahalo to my Hohonu team! To Misty and Annalisa: I am so incredibly grateful to have worked alongside wonderful human beings, filled with life and love for others and their work. We created a humble, respectful, and enjoyable environment in the office, as well as outside of it. To Mama Heather: we’ve only met this year, and I feel like I’ve known you for a lifetime. Thank you for taking me under your wing and being understanding and compassionate through all the curveballs life threw us; you have no idea how awesome of an Editor-in-Chief you are. To our faculty/staff advisors: Kirsten Mollegaard, Justina Mattos, and Maile Boggeln: Thank you for being our shadows, both supporting and advising Hohonu. Finally, to BoSP: Thank you for taking such great care of your “children,” because what you all do is marvelous and does not go unnoticed. I enjoyed this opportunity to work in a publication and create new friendships and connections, and I am forever grateful for the fond memories.The only regret I have is not having applied last academic year, because I think I could have been a bomb Editor-in-Chief! It’s my last year at University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, and it has been the most fantastic one of my undergraduate career. I am truly honored to have been a General Editor for this incredible publication. Me ke aloha, U‘ilani Dasalla Hi everyone! This has been an amazing year working for Hohonu. There were some challenges, but for the most part, the entire process went really smoothly. And so, as a result, I have some Thank You’s: Annalisa - It was so cool getting to meet and work with you, my fellow gluten-free buddy! Your positive attitude and calm, understanding demeanor is admirable. I appreciate you and every time you offered me snacks! Mama Heather - You are were a phenomenal Editor-in-Chief and an even greater person. You were truly the best “Mama” of Hohonu, as you were nothing but cool, calm, and collected, from beginning to end. Your caring attitude is something I will forever be grateful for. I really cannot express how great of an experience it was working under you - you were the best. I am sad you are graduating because I will miss you so much, but I know you will go so far in whatever you choose to do! U‘i - My fellow hair sister and maaaary! I appreciate your work ethic, how much work you put into Hohonu, the “can-do” attitude that you put into everything you do, and most importantly: your curls! I will miss you so much when you graduate, but you better believe I’m visiting! Kanilehua’s staff, BOSP’s staff, Gramma, Maile, Matt, and everyone who works in the building where my loud voice can be heard - Thank you for helping us to make this issue possible and for not minding my loud laughs either, haha! Everyone who submitted - We literally could not have had this issue without you! It was a really competitive selection process because every paper was special. Congratulations if you were published! Thank you to everyone who was patient with me through the whole process of editing papers and getting them ready. And please, please, submit again next year if your paper was not published! The biggest and best Thank You of all - To you, the reader! You are a huge part of Hohonu. If you have made it this far, congratulations! Haha. I am incredibly proud of this issue. I hope that you genuinely enjoy all of the hard work and talent that is showcased and that you learn something new. After you are done reading, please pick up a copy of our sister publication, Kanilehua. You will not be disappointed! Me Ke Aloha, Misty Figueira General Editor vi University of Hawai‘i at Hilo HOHONU 2018 Vol. 16 Editor-in-Chief is a title I never thought I would hold. However, this experience
