Phase I: Who Am I? What's My Place?

Im pretty much a shy person, i dont talk to people if I dont know them that well. When im around my friends and family its like im the most talkative and loud one in the group, also im usually the funny one too.
 * What __really__  makes up your identity?

I would say that my home is the place i most feel myself becasue i dont need to act different to fit in. Its likes when im with my family everything im thinking about is gone because i just have a really good time with them. This is when i feel most myself because i love my family so much.
 * What __really__  makes up your sense of place?

Well im really the shy one so i pretty much listen to whoevers in charge. So pretty much i follow directions because if i were to lead i would want to mess things up for my group. So i feel more comfortable if i take directions from someone who actually knows what they are doing.
 * What roles do your identity and sense of place play when you work with others in a group project?

The qualities ill bring to the GLIP conversation is communication and dedication. In order to do my best that i can do i need to be able to communicate with others in my group. But also you need dedication in what you do becasue wthout dedication i think that people wont be able to give their best work.
 * What are the qualities that you bring to the GLIP conversation that will help you make a contribution to your global group?

One local problem that is pretty huge here in Hawaii would be the homeless that live on the sidewalks and on the beaches. I think that this problem should be fixed because there is pretty much homeless everywhere you go on the island. Some steps that we could take to clear homeless off of the sidewalks and beaches would be build shelters for them and have people there helping them find a job. So like while their staying in the shleter the people can get help on how to get a job so they have money to get them a house instead of living on the streets. When there done getting a job the can leave the shelter and then more homeless can come in to get some help. But you cant make them if they dont want to change they way the live. While the homeless are not living on the beaches we can clean them up and make the beaches look a little nicer.
 * What is one local problem (where you live) that you believe needs to be addressed? Suggest some steps could you take to try to solve it?

The qualities i think people should have to step up and try to solve them would be, not to be afraid of doing what is right. By not being afraid of doing what is right people can probably solve any problems they have. But they must not get angry if they fail because everbody doesnt get it right on the first time. But also they must be willingly to get back up, try again and find another way to solve the problem.
 * Finally, some problems have been around for a long time. What qualities do you think a person must have to step up and try to solve them?

Phase II: Sense of Place

This is one of the best places to get shave ice on O'ahu.

Phase III: Identify Local Issue:

What is your local issue? The local issue I am going to address is homeless because this problem is growing rapidly here in hawaii.

What can you do to be address the issue? What we can do to help with this problem is make more homes for the homeless so they can stop living on the streets. Then help them getting a job so they can make themselves money so they can get a place to stay, especially the homeless that have young kids or even baby's.

What is the global impact of your local issue? The global impact of my local issue is that its not only Hawaii, its all around the world that people are becoming homeless everyday and not getting help with their problems.
