QUARTER 1
‘Olelo No‘eau
❂
Pupukahi i holomua.
Translation: To unite and move forward
Explanation: To come together as one and move toward common goals.
found in the 'Olelo No'eau book written by Mary Kawena Pukui.
This 'olelo no'eau relates to me and my life. If we pull together and work as one, we can make progress and in turn, move forward. I feel this proverb relates to me in so many more ways than one. I am a big sporty person especially during this time of my life. When doing something as simple as sports, or games, it is all about team work. We rely on one another to win and to do that, we must put aside our differences so we can work together and achieve a common goal.
*As you can see in my evidence below, we won the championship, and this year, we must unite and move forward in our abilities if we want to reach it again.
This relates to me me not only with my simple activities, but I feel connect to this 'Olelo No'eau as a Kanaka Maoli, or Hawaiian. We as one nation, and one people need to strive and push together so we can continue to perpetuate our precious traditions. If we don't continue to fight out entire culture could be at risk.
*My evidence below is me portraying a hawaiian snow goddess in the first ever Hawaiian Opera. These commitments to my culture, will help perpetuate it.

QUARTER 3
‘Olelo No‘eau ❂
He lawai'a no ke kai papa'u, he pokole ke aho; he lawai'a no ke kai hohonu he loa ke aho.
Translation: A fisherman of shallow seas uses only a short line; a fisherman of the deep sea uses a long line.
Explanation: You will reach only as far as you aim and prepare yourself to reach.
found in the online ‘Olelo No‘eau website with sayings gathered by Mary Kawena Pukui
This ‘ōlelo nō‘eau reflects me and my performance as a student during Quarter 3. Quarter 3 was all about time-management, preparation, and being able to power my mind through every obstacle put in my way. Day by day throughout the course of this year, I've felt myself growing as a student. I now understand that the true key to success is preparation, and that is exactly what my ‘ōlelo nō‘eau describes. It outlines the importance of preparation and dedication. By working hard to prepare, and dedicating myself towards my studies (and that preparation) I was able to experience multiple benefits not only in this class, but in others as well (Artifact below). I did face many obstacles, however, that were sometimes difficult to overcome. An obstacle that I will highlight on, that sometimes almost got the best of me, was distractions. Distractions of mine include: social media (i.e instagram, facebook, and hudl), cellular telephone, and my computer. All these distractions make my time-management difficult to control. Our generation has been raised on technology, and we sometimes don't understand the control it has over our lives. Growing Up Digital, Wired for Distraction voices the widely known complaint of the ridiculous amount of time teens have sucked out right from under them by being so glued to their technology. In order for me to push through, I am forced to focus on my dedication to my studies and how far I am willing to go in order to succeed. My power of will, and preparation helped me to succeed and earned me my A. That is how the ‘ōlelo nō‘eau I have selected corresponds with me and my performance during this past third quarter.

QUARTER 4
Olelo No‘eau ❊
Loa‘a ka lanakila no ka hana pa‘akikü
Translation: Victory achieved through hard work.
Explanation: In order to succeed, you must dedicate yourself to the work.
found in the online ‘Olelo No‘eau website with sayings gathered by Mary Kawena Pukui
The ‘olelo no‘eau that I have chosen ("Victory achieved through hard work") represents my performance as a student. The ability to succeed relies fully on the work and dedication you choose to put into that drive towards success. This philosophy was evident not only through the 4th quarter, but the entire academic school year as well. Every week via blackboard, we were assigned terms to identify, videos to observe, and blogs and journals to write by the end of the week. The decision to be industrious and dilligent was entirely up to us. If you reviewed the information Mr. Patino provided, you could partake in the discussions taking place in class and understand what was being talked about in class. Our progression in learning was determined by the effort exerted to understanding the topics and applying the concepts we learned in class. Reviewing the information and knowledge posted on blackboard came in handy when we had to undergo CER tests and quizzes. It was also beneficial for our blogs. As I said before, thoughout the year, we were assigned blogs every week to check our learning skills and our ability to write effectual CERs. Effective learning was essential to those, because if you wrote them well, you didnt have to go back and edit them. Effective learning was the most beneficial, however, while working on the Problem-Based-Learning projects (PBL Projects). The fact that there were always a handful of different possible solutions to one problem was difficult, and the point of these projects were to give us the opportunity to apply what we have been learning to the assignment to solve the problem and show how effective we were in learning what we talked about in class. If the resources our teacher gave us were not used and understood, producing a good final product would be impossible, and bad products influence our grades. This ‘olelo no‘eau defines my academic work ethic because it was obvious who put in the time to complete their work thoroughly and accurately, and who just wasted their time in class throughout the year. I continuously strive to always be on task and always complete my assignments on time. Attaining the good grades is nice, but knowing that I can comprehend the information is overwhelmingly satisfying. It took time to really understand and grasp the necessity of all this information, but now discussing in class, and writing CER comes so easy now. In the beginning I was constantly frustrated but now I can handle it with ease. The final products delineate the effort you put in it, and if you give it your best, you are most likely to achieve victory.
