### What motto best describes your outlook on life?

“Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us” –Romans 8:37

### What has being awarded the Grove Farm Scholarship meant to you?

Being awarded the Grove Farm Scholarship has meant so much to me. I have been able to pursue my dream of becoming a Civil Engineer. I’m taking extra classes that pertain to my specialty of Water Resource Engineering, which I would have had to opt out of if I did not receive this scholarship.

### What have you learned about yourself while you’ve been away?

I’ve continued to prove to myself that I am capable of solving problems and challenges, which at first, seem too difficult to overcome. I have learned, without a doubt, that civil engineering is the correct major for me and I look forward to solving engineering problems on Kauai someday.

### What drives you?

What drives me is becoming the best person that I can be, mainly through the knowledge, wisdom, and love of Jesus Christ. I desire to become an individual that is known for offering all I can for others and the land. This desire causes me to learn all I can while I’m in school and to monitor my actions while I am walking through my everyday life.

### What gives you hope for the future?

The main thing that gives me hope for the future is that God knows the plans that He has for me, and I know that He will guide me to where I will be the most useful. This being said, I look forward to the challenges and rewards of following His path, and know that these experiences will continue to better myself in all aspects of my life.
