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

My identity is made up of many components. My family gives me courage to face daily challenges, that I am hesitant to overcome. My friends keep me upbeat and positive for the unassurance of some days. Lastly, my past experiences helped me to learn the mistakes i have made and allows me to correct myself for future purposes.
 * What __really__ makes up your identity?

For me to feel comfortable in my own shoes, i would picture myself being at home in kahaluu. The weather is cold and breezy, and you just want to snuggle up in a toasty blanket. Sitting along with my dad and brother watching TV, and just having a blast being together. I can just be my normal self and not feel like there are people judging me.
 * What __really__ makes up your sense of place?

My identity helps me to stay on task, and try to get the work done. I encourage others to involve themselves in the project, so we all have a little part in the job. Working with other people help me to bring my inner self to help out with the task at hand.
 * What roles do your identity and sense of place play when you work with others in a group project?

I can help bring a sense of how i was brought up to become a civilized citizen. That will contribute to the global group and give them a sense of idea of what kind of person i am, and how i think.
 * What are the qualities that you bring to the GLIP conversation that will help you make a contribution to your global group?

A local problem that needs to be addressed in kaneohe is burglary. I feel that stealing is not necessary and should be ended at once. To solve this bad habit, we could set up a neighborhood watch. In that, we keep the community close and we solve the burglary situation.
 * 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?

A person must first have leadership. This characteristic will determine how the result will be, to end the crime. If there is a leader, then others will join in to solve the problem. Also, the courage to get the community together and explain the problem, and explain why the rules and watches are needed.
 * 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

1. Kaneohe's weather is mainly rainy, but occationally sunny. 2. There are many scenic points and hikes to explore, such as this picture the Pali Lookout. 3. Kaneohe is surrounded by the Koolau Mountain, and is lushly plantated by plants.

Use these questions to help you determine which picture shows someone else why your “place” is so special to you.
 * Does a picture of a group of people represent and show a warmth and friendliness that your town has?
 * Does a statue or building convey the feeling of history that makes your place important and unique?
 * Is there a cultural event that represents the values of your home location?

What are your initial thoughts about how your image addresses the questions above? Later, you will be working with the members of your group to create a travel package that includes visits to each group member's home location (see Phase II)

Phase III: Identify Local Issue:

What is your local issue? Burglary is one of the local issues in Oahu. It is becoming a problem that is occurring more often.

What can you do to be address the issue? To prevent burglary, there are some ways to be aware of the situation. First, gathering the community for a neighborhood watch. That helps to involve neighbors into the known problems around the neighborhood, and puts a stop to most burglaries. Also, alert the police to any suspicious activities. With police knowing about curious wonderers; they tend to check around the area often.

What is the global impact of your local issue? If there is no steps to taking actions to prevent the criminal actions of burglary;Oahu is going to be an unsafe place to be. Never knowing if some random person will try to break in, and they could hurt you.

"It's a community concern."
