I was truly living my best life, I was able to learn and be a part of such a beautiful culture. Hawaii taught me to never be scared to try something new, that goes for foods and activity's. Hawaii was also a hard time for me, throughout 6th grade I was bullied most of 6th grade, verbally and at times physically over my race and hair. In the beginning, I remained closed off and quiet, I had this illusion implanted in my brain that if I got chemical relaxers to straighten my hair I could fit their standards of beauty.

I even remember when the American part of me read an article in…
