So just stop for a minute and imagine that after 16 beautiful years spent exploring and living life to the fullest in Maui, your parents one day decide that it would be a good experience for you to go to a high school in California, the place where they originally had met. don't get me wrong California sounds amazing and from what I've seen from American movies it looks super fun, but I couldn't help the sadness that filled within me at the news that I would soon be leaving my friends and family, to go live in a city. I am not a city girl, I love my island and I love the idea of just lying around on a beach all day or spending enormous amounts of time in the water surfing the beautiful waves that Hana has to offer, so you see my dilemma? This for sure is going to be a test and in no way do I think it will be an easy one, after all you can take the girl away from the island but you can't take the island out of the girl.
