Live Aloha

Aloha Life by Lyanna P. from Mokapu Elementary School

“I feel aloha when people show that they care. When my friend sees me crying, she always immediately tries to make me feel better by making me laugh. I know just how hard it is to comfort someone when they’re feeling down and so the fact that she always tries to make me smile makes me feel a lot of aloha. My artwork represents this moment with the girl’s tears “turning” into waterfalls. This symbolizes sad tears turning into something beautiful, just like how making someone laugh can turn their tears into tears of laughter, all because of Aloha.”

Tears of Aloha by Jasmine C. from Kaiser High School

“Looking at nature makes me feel a strong sense of aloha. Whenever I am on top of a high platform like a mountain, I absorb the scenery & think,"This is Aloha." Something about Hawaii's beautiful land instantly makes me think of how well it defines the ALOHA SPIRIT on a daily basis.”
