>>We're here on the campus of Maui High School in Central Kahului, Maui.
A local treat here in Kahului is Tasaka Guri Guri.
This sweet treat is a mixture of sherbet and ice cream, and comes in only two flavors:
pineapple and strawberry.
When you come, order as many scoops as you want.
If that's not enough, take home a quart.
But you can't make this on your own, because the recipe to make Guri Guri is a family secret.
On these hot Kahului days, getting a cup of Guri Guri really hits the spot.
This next story by students from Maui High School on Maui is about a young man who is
more than able.
>>Keizhawn Daquis is just like any other piano student ... who struggles with mastering the notes.
But coordinating with the keys is not the only worry Keizhawn has to create that perfect piece.
>>So, Keizhawn was born with Spina Bifida.
It's a birth defect where your back bones did not completely close.
So, anything below that is affected, in this case, including his mobility.
>>Keizhawn has been using his wheelchair for most of his life.
This in itself has brought him some challenges, especially during his recent transition from
Pu'u Kukui Elementary to Maui Waena Intermediate in Kahului, Maui.
>>The biggest difference is that the campus is kind of bigger than my other campus, and
we don't stay in one classroom.
We switch every hour for different classes.
But when I have to go down to the field, 'cause there's like portables, it takes me long time,
and sometimes I'm late to class.
>>His teachers are understanding, but there are areas where he feels left out.
>>When I see like, other kids playing football or soccer, sometimes I feel like, Oh, I wonder
how it feels like to play football or soccer.
>>Despite being in a wheelchair, Keizhawn pushed himself to do what he and his family thought
impossible.
>>Sports?
I never thought he would be able to play any kind of sports.
>>Through the years, Keizhawn has been on a roll.
He is involved in numerous sports, including tennis ... surfing ... wheelchair racing -- and
swimming.
>>I like to do these things because it's fun, and it gives me exercise.
What I like about swimming is, I get to meet new kids, and I get to get along with them,
and I get to meet my new coach.
And I get to go to other places like O'ahu.
>>Last year, Keizhawn brought home a silver and a bronze medal from Special Olympics.
>>I got them on O'ahu.
>>After keeping himself busy with school and sports ...
>>Which I got scared, because I thought there were sharks.
>>At the end of the day, Keizhawn will ultimately go back to his first love.
>>My hobbies are playing the 'ukulele and piano.
And a little bit of guitar.
My favorite is playing the 'ukulele.
I started playing the 'ukulele four years ago, when I was seven.
>>He goes to parties and community events, and he plays and sings for the community.
Keizhawn is unique because he proves me wrong.
He not only lives up to my expectations, but he soars above them.
>>Even with his disability, the support Keizhawn has from his family, paired up with his cheerful
attitude, has enabled him to pursue his numerous involvements, proving that he definitely is
able.
This is Yasha Ronquillo from Maui High School, for HIKI NŌ.
>>HIKI NŌ is on Instagram.
For show updates and a peek behind the scenes, follow us on Instagram @hikinocando.
>>We are here at Kapa'a Middle School, located on the east side on the island of Kaua'i.
One of our favorite foods in Kapa'a is Pono Market's chicken bowl.
Pono Market is located in the heart of Kapa'a town.
Founded in 1968, it is a local favorite.
On top of a rice base, there are pieces of fried chicken soaked in a flavorful marinade.
The people of Kaua'i love it because they say the chicken is fried to perfection.
There is also a great proportion between the chicken and the rice.
Pono Market's chicken bowl is a comfort food to almost everyone on Kaua'i.
The following story by students from Kapa'a Middle School on Kaua'i shows us how the love
of an art form can shape a person's life.
>>I can say that ballet has been the one theme in my life that has been so utterly consistent.
>>To Ms. Jennifer Bell-Grey, dance is not just a series of movements put to music.
Instead, it has guided and shaped her life, and at one point, was a form of healing.
>>When I was thirteen, my father died in an accident suddenly, and ... I couldn't really
express myself in talking.
So, dance was really my outlet for ... grief.
>>Ms. Bell-Grey has been expressing herself through dance since the age of three, when
she saw "Swan Lake," and instantly fell in love.
>>Seeing the dancers move to this Tchaikovsky music in this beautiful way made me feel like
a bird, made me feel like a swan.
>>Ballet remained a dependable and stable outlet as she and her family left Kaua'i, and moved
from one country to the next.
>>We moved to Hong Kong.
I lived there for three years.
After that, we moved to the northern part of Thailand for one year.
And from there, we moved to England, and then at the age of ten was when I auditioned for
the Royal Ballet School.
>>At the Royal Ballet School in London, England, Ms. Bell-Grey danced before thousands of people,
even British royalty.
But after many long and painful hours in the studio, her sights began to focus on a new
role.
>>There were blisters, many blisters, strained muscles, soreness, aches and pains, feeling
mentally fatigued, wondering: Can I really do this?
Upon graduating from the Royal Ballet School, I came home to Kaua'i.
I had this hope that one day, I would have my own company.
>>A conscious decision to leave the stage in pursuit of inspiring young dancers led her
to open the Kaua'i Dance Center, where for the past nineteen years, she has used her
personal experiences to relate to her students.
>>I was very shy, growing up.
I didn't talk much.
I really put myself in their shoes to understand what would be the most effective way to reach
them, and to develop their confidence in themselves.
I would say that I was shy to be performing in front of people.
I had never really done that before.
>>She's very interactive.
She likes to make sure you know what you're doing before she continues.
She will reposition your body so that you feel what it's like to do the move correctly.
>>Ms. Bell-Grey loves teaching ballet, lyrical and hip-hop to a new generation of dancers.
But it's not just about technique.
She hopes dance has a positive impact on their lives, as it does on hers.
>>It's been a privilege to teach my students, and be involved in my students' lives, and
watch them grow.
You help someone strategize to bring out the best in themselves.
Because the performance -- boom, it's over.
But the memory of it, that can last you a lifetime.
>>This is Shaday Thomas from Kapa'a Middle School, for HIKI NŌ.
>>Stay tuned after the show to find out what students who created this story learned from
their experience.
>>We're here on the campus of Hawai'i Preparatory Academy in Waimea, on the island of Hawai'i.
HPA is in the middle of paniolo country, which usually means a juicy steak.
But there are plenty of other ways to provide farm-to-table items to the students.
One of these efforts is Mindful Monday, where everyone in the HPA community is invited to
share a delicious, diverse and 'aina-friendly lunch in the outdoor classroom at the Energy
Lab.
The only rule is that you have to bring a dish to eat, it has to be meatless and have
one locally sourced ingredient.
But don't be intimidated, it doesn't have to be vegan, and even some avocados or a bunch
of bananas is enough.
Mindful Mondays promote healthful bodies, connect our community, and help us care for
our environment.
This next story by students from Hawai'i Preparatory Academy is about a historic school building
here in Waimea that has found a second life.
>>We often have people walking in, and they'll say: Oh, I used to go to school here, and
Oh, this is where I was sitting.
You know.
I even had a couple once that came in and said: We met here in the fourth grade.
And they got married and had children.
[CHUCKLE]
>>In the heart of Waimea on Hawai'i Island sits the Isaacs Art Center.
This school building has a history that goes back to 1915.
>>It is on the Register of Historic Places because those old buildings have not survived -- very,
very few have survived.
They were called plantation style, where you would use essentially what you had.
And then, many things were brought in from the Mainland.
The building was used for approximately ninety years or so as a school, the first elementary
school here in Waimea.
1915 is the date of construction.
So, it served for a very long time, and as you can imagine, a large number of people
went to school here.
>>This building was first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth.
So, I started in the first grade room, and I went through all of the rooms.
[CHUCKLE]
>>The building fell into disrepair once new school buildings were built, and after eighty-five
years of service, was slated for demolition, until 2003, when Hawai'i Preparatory Academy
took ownership of the building.
>>The process of moving the building essentially was to cut it into four sections.
They stabilized it, removed the roof so that it could go under the traffic light, and then
lifted it onto a trailer.
And then, each section was moved here.
We had prepared the land.
This is HPA land, so everything was ready for it.
You know, we had trenches, we had platforms, we had everything ready.
And then after that, it was a matter of one year of restoration.
The official recognition came on March 29, 2003.
>>Now, the art gallery is open to the public, with all proceeds going to the HPA Scholarship
Fund.
>>The foundation of the art gallery, and the motivation to raise money for Hawai'i Preparatory
Academy scholarships, I think is crucial.
And that is something that every single one of our docents-and we always say when visitors
come in from whatever country or place, we do accentuate, we reinforce the fact that
the sales herein contribute to the scholarship program at HPA.
>>Being like, a scholarship student myself, I'm so grateful, and I don't know, I'm just
really honored to have the opportunities that this gallery has provided for me and many
others.
>>This gallery has helped my learning by exposing me to new artworks, and new artists, and new
forms of art, as well as picking up something new every time I'm in class.
>>The Isaacs Art Center continues to serve as an example of preserving the past, while providing
for the future.
This is Brock Imonen from Hawai'i Preparatory Academy, for HIKI NŌ.
>>Stay tuned now for this sweet and colorful how-to by students at 'Ilima Intermediate
School in the 'Ewa District of O'ahu.
>>Halo halo in Filipino means mix-mix.
This dessert is a sweet treat that will help you cool off on a hot day.
Halo halo is derived from a Japanese dessert called kakigori, which is shaved ice served
with sweet beans.
This popular dessert traveled to Hawai'i in the early 1900s, when Filipino laborers immigrated
to work on the sugarcane fields of O'ahu.
There are different ways to make halo halo.
The ingredients we will be using are: ube ice cream, shaved ice, coconut jelly, condensed
milk and halo halo mix, which includes red beans, white beans, macupuno and jackfruit
pulp.
Gather a jar or a bowl and a spoon to serve the dish.
Scoop one spoonful of each into the jar.
Then, shave the ice and scoop it into the glass until it comes up to the rim.
Next, pour in your condensed and evaporated milk until your ice is fully covered in it.
Top it off with a scoop of ube ice cream and shredded coconut.
Lastly, mix it all together and serve in individual cups or bowls.
Finally, enjoy your tasty, cool halo halo with friends.
This is Jeanna Sablan from 'Ilima Intermediate School, for HIKI NŌ.
>>Aloha.
We're here on the campus of Kalani High School in East Honolulu.
A favorite food item at our school is fried rice, which is served at our caf.
The cafe cooks around twenty pounds of rice.
They add lots of scrambled eggs and also, lots of love.
This year, it has become the most popular menu item.
This next story by students from Kalani High School in Honolulu is about Simi Tupuola,
an up-and-coming rapper.
[RAPPING]
>>My name is Simi Tupuola, but for my rapper name, I put my middle name, which is King.
I'm in the eleventh grade, and I go to Kalani High School.
I first got into rapping when I was like, in elementary school.
And then, I started like, writing raps in middle school.
But I took it seriously like, last year.
I developed my passion for rapping just from, like, constantly listening to music all the
time.
[RAPPING]
The thing I like most about rapping is just, like, getting my music out there and like,
having people hear it, and they get, like, motivated and stuff.
[CHEERING]
I love performing in front of audiences, and I like seeing the reactions of people.
The hardest part about rapping is most probably the creative process.
I write my lyrics, like, kinda weird, like in the morning, like three in the morning.
That's when I'm most, like, inspired, like motivated to do stuff.
[RAPPING]
Before I was born, my father was sent to prison, and he came out when I was ten, but he went
back in.
And he just finally came back out when I was fifteen.
So, it was like, the struggle that I had with my father for all those years.
It's not like the whole thing's about him, but I might drop like a lyric or two about
him.
[RAPPING]
I get most of my ideas, like, if I listen to the beat, I just think of something, and
it just comes off the spot.
Or like, I already have an idea in mind, and I go looking for, like, beats to go with the
thought.
If I start off with like verses, but they're like all scattered all over the place, and
I bought the beats for all of them.
Bought like a whole recording, like, home recording studio thing for me.
And I did all of that, and I sent it to this guy in 'Ewa to produce it, Fourth Note.
We just got it going.
I made my first song, and I got like, twenty-three thousand plays right now.
My greatest accomplishment would be this [INDISTINCT].
It took, like, forever, it took like, a year to make, and like, hundreds of dollars.
It's like eleven songs.
I plan on moving out of Hawai'i, 'cause like, no one can really hear you like, if you're
down here.
Rapping has like, really impacted my life in a good way.
Like, now more people know who I am, like my story, and they can relate to what I've
been through.
>>This is Maiya Keawe-Costa from Kalani High School, for HIKI NŌ.
>>We're here at the satellite site of Miloli'i Hipu'u Virtual Academy of Kua O Ka Lā Public
Charter School on Hawai'i Island.
One of the favorite foods for the people of Miloli'i is 'opihi.
'Opihi is a mollusk that is found along the shoreline.
Many people use a butter knife to collect 'opihi off the rocks, called pounding 'opihi.
While collecting 'opihi off the rocks, please be cautious.
It is dangerous to turn your back to the ocean.
You should go at low tide, and in groups of two.
Some eat 'opihi raw.
They use a spoon to scoop it out of its shell, then they pop it into their mouth.
We love 'opihi!
The following story by students at Kua O Ka Lā Miloli'i Hipu'u Virtual Academy on Hawai'i
Island is about Kehau Springer, who is following her dream to help Hawaiian communities preserve
their ocean resources.
>>Kehau Springer is soft-spoken and thoughtful, but don't underestimate her.
By following her dreams and doing what she loves, she has become a major force in conserving
Hawai'i's ocean resources.
>>As a young girl, I went surfing, played in the ocean, fished off the shores of Waikiki
and East O'ahu.
And so, I always wanted to have those connections to the ocean, and be able to find a career
that I will enjoy, I won't ever get tired, and I won't ever feel like I'm working.
So, I went to UH Hilo.
I got a degree in Hawaiian Studies, minored in marine science, and I went on to get my
master's in tropical conservation biology.
>>She turned her degrees into a career, teaching Hawaiian families how to use science to help
them preserve the fish populations in their communities, and their way of life.
>>We build resource monitoring programs, like going out into the ocean and doing dives.
I like to consider myself in the field of marine conservation and community-based marine
resource management.
So, incorporating Native Hawaiian perspectives and Western science and technology to monitor
the resources.
>>Her biggest achievement has been helping to establish Conservation International Hawai'i,
a nonprofit organization seeking to restore ocean health, food security, and sustainable
living.
Its motto is: ho'i i ke kai momona, which means: return to an abundant ocean.
Springer hopes to do this by creating unique plans for each community.
>>Understanding the needs of Native Hawaiian communities that are looking at marine resource
management, and really taking into consideration the things that are needed.
>>Springer is already making an impact in Miloli'i.
A teacher there has added to the curriculum kilo, which is the Hawaiian term for traditional
observation of the environment.
This is just one way Kehau Springer may be influencing a whole new generation of conservationists.
This is Austin Martin from Kua O Ka La Miloli'i Hipu'u Virtual Academy, for HIKI NŌ.
>>This next story from students at Mid-Pacific on O'ahu shows how young people can tap into
the power of an ancient tradition.
[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]
>>Over the past forty years, the Mid-Pacific Varsity Baseball Team has had fourteen State
tournament appearances, eight ILH championships, and five State titles.
Assistant Coach Scott Muromoto has been a part of the team for eighteen years, and almost
every one of those victories.
He constantly pushes his players to work hard.
>>Do I feel like they could always work harder?
Yes.
I feel like a lot of times, they could work smarter.
If you're just working to work, you might get physically stronger, but you know, baseball
is a real mental game.
>>In his creative approach for mental preparation, he enlists the help of a cultural artifact:
the daruma.
The daruma is a Japanese doll that helps the owner stay focused on a particular goal.
The owner colors in one eye, while thinking about a goal, and colors in the other eye
when the goal is achieved.
>>The daruma has a base where supposedly, if you push it over, it'll rock back.
You know, so it shows that resilience.
It kinda simulates what happens in the season, yeah?
Like, you're not gonna win every game, so sometimes you get knocked down, but you gotta
come right back.
>>Team captain Zach Gushiken understands how the daruma can affect the team.
>>Last season, we put the daruma in the back of the dugout, and we started off the season
one and two.
It wasn't looking too good.
So, we moved the daruma to the front.
We won nine straight games after that.
So, I feel like the daruma is very important to us.
>>The daruma even travels with the team.
>>It's part of our tradition, pretty much.
We play with this by our side every day, every game.
It pretty much is part of our family already, and family plays for one another.
>>The angry Owl ritual is a goal-setting exercise that the entire team participates in before
and after every game.
It is a reminder that achieving smaller goals is what make the larger goal possible.
>>You always color in the right eye first, and then if you come out on top, you color in
the left eye.
>>With these small, yet unique team-building exercises, the Owls continue to be a winning
program, year-in and year-out.
This is Jacen Kimura from Mid-Pacific, for HIKI NŌ.
>>Well, we've come to the end of this episode of HIKI NŌ.
>>Remember, all of these stories were written, shot, and edited by students like us.
>>We hope you enjoyed watching them, as much as we've enjoyed sharing them with you.
