ʻOlelo Noʻeau
Quarter 1
I am a team person. I have played sports that involve some sort of teamwork, such as volleyball and bowling. Even though bowling is partly an individual sport, you play for the team trying to make the team get a higher score than your opponent. I also have done water polo, swimming, and paddling. Teamwork means a lot to me because it’s not only individuals’ skills that make the team, but also the mentally prepared attitude to work together as one. Based on my experience of teams and such unity, my ‘ōlelo noʻeau is definite in representing who I am and some of the core Hawaiian values I live by.
My ʻōlelo noʻeau, “Pupukahi i holomua,” which in literal translation means “Unite to move forward.” I picked this ʻōlelo noʻeau because in life no matter where you go someone helped you get there. Your individual dreams may reach far, but without knowledge of the road, youʻll never know how to get there. By using prior knowledge and knowledge that you obtain today, tomorrow, and for the rest of your life, you will be able to move forward; not only you, but the people who helped you are also positively affect by this movement having them gain knowledge for their future. This ʻōlelo noʻeau comes from ʻŌlelo Noʻeau: Hawaiian Proverbs and Poetical Sayings by Mary Kawena Pukui. This ʻōlelo noʻeau is more so applicable to the canoe paddler because everyone has to unite to make the canoe move forward. It is an ancient Hawaiian proverb with no author, yet is still passed down through oral tradition and Mary Pukuiʻs ʻŌlelo Noʻeau.
At this time, this ʻōlelo noʻeau represents me because for the past month I have been out from playing volleyball due to a concussion. Fortunately, I am able to play today, but for the past few games I havenʻt and I had to learn to become a team player on the bench and provide motivation to my team. It’s a difficult job not being able to play the sport you love and watch them play games you believe you could help them succeed in.

Quarter 3
![Picture](/uploads/2/4/0/0/24002252/3783553.jpg?316)
The ʻōlelo noʻeau that reflects myself as a student in Quarter 3 most well is, "He pūkoʻa kani ʻaina." (Pukui, 2004) This ʻōlelo noʻeau best reflects me as a student in the third quarter because behind its literal meaning, "a coral reef that grows into an island," the interpretive meaning, by Mary Kawena Pukui, of this ʻōlelo noʻeau is, "A person beginning in a small way gains steadily until he becomes firmly established." This ʻōlelo noʻeau talks of the drive and diligence of one to become something bigger, to strive for a better outcome, to work harder to reach their goal. This describes me because throughout the year I have chosen to start from a low point or effort in work progression over the course of this quarter and then I built my self regulation being able to recover from my weak start and provide a stable ending in the quarter.
As a spiritual student I have been able to broaden my learning and being able to connect with my culture and connect with my religion as well. I have been able to grow spiritually because in watching Reverend Sky St. John of Unity Church of Hawaii online, I have been able to reflect how religion and the cultural saying connect as one. "If we make the right decisions, even the little decisions, step by step that is magnified over time until we overcome many great things." (St. John, 2011) This quote is a paradigm of the process of which we can grow as a better person, a better student, and more spiritually and culturally connected.
My ʻōlelo noʻeau that I picked also reflects me as a student because I have gained knowledge. It began as not knowing a lot or much about domestication, DNA, and the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology, then it later progressed to mastery of all those concepts and learning to support the concept by evidence. In my other classes this ʻōlelo noʻeau represents me because I have progressed in knowledge and grades in most of my classes have gone up after a period of time where my grades were at its lowest. Overall, this ʻōlelo noʻeau I have chosen about progression, truly does represent me as a student because I have been able to overcome the obstacles of missing and late work to still be able to bring up my grade and be able to retain more knowledge to master as well.

Quarter 4
Lawe i ka ma'alea a ku'ono'ono"
Acquire skill and make it deep.

This ʻōlelo noʻeau, "lawe i ka maʻalea a kuʻonoʻono," best reflects me as a student this school year. This ʻōlelo noʻeau describes me as a student because I have gained many skills this year that I can use for my future as a student, a woman, and an aspiring family physician. Such skills that I have developed this year include teamwork, impactive learning, and attention to quality. Teamwork has been a big factor in especially in this last quarter of biology because we have done more PBLs (project based learning) and team collaborations than the other three quarters combined. With my more developed skills of teamwork and collaboration skills, I have been able to build relationships with my peers outside the classroom as well, causing our product to be even more in depth and personal because we all collaborated to create a quality project.
Another skill I have acquire throughout the school year is impactive learning, which includes learning strategies and ways to use that knowledge that I have obtained to put it to use and provide a product to display the knowledge I have gained. Throughout the year I have been able to gain new knowledge that will be used for my future such as college and my future career. My ability to learn has developed techniques that are crucial to my future learning and my ability to retain knowledge as well. An example that I have developed in my learning skills would be this ePortfolio because not only have I been able to display the knowledge I have learned, but I have used technology to display it, and I have a greater understanding of the topics I have discussed in this ePortfolio, which evidence are contained in my Bio Blog. Patino's teaching skills have taught me techniques to learn using technology to my advantage--to benefit my comprehension of topics to a deeper level.
An additional skill I have developed was the attention to quality. Quality is defined as the character with respect to kindness, or grade of exellence (Dictionary.com, 2014). As quality in our phone differs and is defined of great quality by the most recent year it was made, sometimes we put down the human attention to quality. As a student, quality is my grade, and affects my studies to the core because it is the basis of all homework--if you wan't a good grade, you must have outstanding quality work to do so.
This ʻōlelo noʻeau describes me as an overall student because I've acquire skills that are entirely beneficial for my future as a student, and etc. This ʻōlelo noeʻau doesn't only describe my work as a student, but also the values that I cherish in life that will make me more cooperative as a peer, a future wife, and an aspiring doctor. Based on my growth in skills this school year, I conclude that this ʻōlelo noʻeau, "lawe i ka maʻalea a kuʻonoʻono," best reflects me as a student this year.
