Saunia e Peter Vahsen ma Ethan Yang, Kaiser High School<\/em>

Fai mai o tatou talavou o le a avea ma taitai o a taeao, ae o a ni o latou tiute i aso nei?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

O Hawai'i ose fa'ata'ita'iga o tagata ta'ito'atasi, e tofu lava ma mea e fiafia i ai, tausiga, ma fa'amoemoega. O le mea e fusia ai i tatou o se tiute fa'atasi e fa'atasi ma fa'afailele a tatou avanoa fa'asoa. E ala i le aumaia o o tatou poto masani ma manatu i mataupu fa\u02bbapitonu\u02bbu, tatou te fa\u02bbaaogaina ai lo tatou tiute o le fa\u02bbalapotopotoga fa\u02bbale-malo ma fa\u02bbaleleia le taua o le tausimea-tausia o lo tatou sosaiete. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

O tamaiti a'oga a le Malo o Hawai'i e le'o fa'ate'aina i lenei sitiseni fa'alaua'itele, ae o le atoatoaga o a'oa'oga, tiute fa'aleaiga, galuega faavaitaimi, ma le atina'eina o tupulaga o lona uiga o tiute fa'ale-malo e masani ona nofo i tua. A'o a'oa'o tamaiti a'oga e uiga i tiute fa'ale-malo e ala ia latou a'oa'oga fa'aletagata, ae maise le Auai i Fa'atemokalasi, o le tofo moni o le fa'atemokalasi fa'atasi e maua mai i galuega fa'aopoopo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I le Aoga Maualuga a Kaiser, ua lata mai le vaitau o le palota, ma e maua e tamaiti aoga uma le avanoa e faatino ai a latou aia tatau e palota ai mo se sui; se tasi o le a tauaveina o latou popolega i le tulaga o le faia o faaiuga a le malo o tamaiti aoga. A'o fa'amanino e fa'ailoga foafoa le lotoa ma laina laina a tamaiti a'oga e fai a latou palota, ua lu'itauina i tatou ina ia aua ne'i fa'amalie i mataupu o le lotoa, e le gata i le masani ma le le tautalagia. E vave ona iloa e tamaiti a'oga o se itumalo fa'atasi e i'u i ni fa'aleleia atili, pe ala i vaiaso agaga, suiga o laei, po'o polokalame fa'apotopotoga.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

O lenei lava fa'ata'ita'iga o fa'auiga a le tagata lava ia o lo'o fa'apipi'iina ai le ute o le nusipepa a tamaiti aoga a Kaiser. I le taimi muamua, o le au tusitala e tuli na o se va\u02bbaiga - o se fa\u02bbaaliga i luga o le kalapu a\u02bboga lata mai, o se tala fou e uiga i tulafono fa\u02bbapolokiki o le a a\u02bbafia ai tamaiti a\u02bboga, po\u02bbo se fa\u02bbafefe loloto i pisinisi a le aiga. Ae i le tele o vaiaso o faatalanoaga ma su\u02bbesu\u02bbega, na suia ai e le au tusitala lena fuaiupu e tasi i se tusiga e tumu i lanu ma le malosi. I fa'ata'ita'iga ta'itasi, o lo'o fa'atupula'ia atili le manino o le ulua'i va'ai, ma maua ai se tala e mafai ona aumaia ai le tele o mataupu fa'apitoa i talanoaga lata mai a le a'oga. O le matagofie o le nusipepa o lo\u02bbo taoto i le sa\u02bbolotoga: e le iloa e le tusitala pe o le a faia le isi fa\u02bbatalanoaga ma se tasi o le vasega, po\u02bbo se faipule faaupufai. So'o se vasega Igilisi e mafai ona a'oa'o se tamaititi e tusi se tala. Ae faatasi ai ma le saolotoga e ave ai se tala i soo se itu latou te manana\u02bbo ai, e mafai ai e le tusitala a tamaiti a\u02bboga se tulaga o le fa\u02bbauiga e maua ai e le o ni galuega masani, ae o tala o lo\u02bbo i ai le malosi e fa\u02bbamalosia ai gaioiga fa\u02bbalapotopotoga. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mo tamaiti a\u02bboga e fiafia tele i faiga fa\u02bbapolokiki, Kaiser e ofoina atu se faiga fou o le fa\u02bbauiga. O le GloPost, na faia i le tausaga talu ai e avea o se upega tafa\u02bbilagi o tala fa\u02bbapolokiki a tamaiti a\u02bboga, fa\u02bbatagaina so\u02bbo se tamaititi aoga le avanoa e tusia ai se tala i luga o se autu e fiafia i ai. Faatasi ai ma tala e aofia ai mea uma mai Korean chaebols i Nigerian tech startups, o le GloPost ua avea ma sui o le poto fa\u02bbapolokiki eseese o lo\u02bbo umia e tamaiti a\u02bboga Kaiser. I le faitau e uiga i malo ma sosaiete mai fafo, e maua ai e tamaiti a'oga le tomai e iloilo toto'a ai fa'alapotopotoga a Hawai'i, ma maua ai se faitoto'a i le auai malosi i faiga fa'apolokiki. Pe o le a\u02bboga, lotoifale, setete, atunu\u02bbu, po\u02bbo le tulaga fa\u02bbavaomalo, o le malamalama i mea fa\u02bbapolokiki talu ai nei e mafai ona avea ma mea e fa\u02bbaosofia ai mafaufau fia iloa e avea ma ta\u02bbita\u02bbi malolosi i totonu o latou alalafaga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A mae'a ona fa'aleleia nei tomai i le tele o avanoa eseese, e ave e tamaiti a'oga i Hawai'i ni tomai fou e fa'atatau i le va'aiga ma le naunautaiga i le tulaga o le setete i le Konafesi a Tamaiti A'oga Maualuga. O se tulaga taua tele, o lenei fonotaga fa'aletulafono e tolu aso e mafai ai e tamaiti a'oga ona fa'atamaoaigaina lo latou malamalama i faiga fa'atulafono, fa'atalanoa atugaluga ma ta'ita'i o le setete, ma fautua mo tulafono o lo'o fa'atali. O iinei, o le talitonuga o le potuaoga ua liua i se molimau moni. O tomai vaivai e pei o mafaufauga faitio, felafolafoaiga, ma le fetuutuunai e taua tele e fa\u02bbafefe ai au uo ma maua le lagolago. I lalo o le lagi matala o le State Capitol, o lo\u02bbo tu\u02bbuina tamaiti a\u02bboga i se lagona fa\u02bbamalosia o le fa\u02bbamalosia, ma o feso\u02bbota\u02bbiga fou ma tupulaga mai isi atumotu ua fausia. O lenei konafesi e le gata ina luluina fatu mo taitai o le lumanai o lo tatou setete ae tuuina atu i tamaiti aoga se leo i suiga i aso nei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

O le anoanoa'i o alag\u0101'oa o lo'o avanoa mo a tatou tamaiti e mafai ai e se tasi ona maua le poto fa'apitoa ma tomai e avea ai ma ta'ita'i lelei i se aso. Ae na aoaoina i tatou e Uncle Ben i Spiderman o le faailoga o se taitai maoae e le o le tele o le malosi latou te maua, ae o le auala latou te filifili ai e faaaoga lena mana. O faiga fa'alenuu e fa'amalosia ai i tatou e lu'iina lena mana. E valaaulia ai i tatou e vaavaai i totonu ma iloilo pe aisea tatou te faatulagaina ai o tatou olaga i le auala tatou te faia ai. Na te tot\u014dina i totonu ia i tatou le taua o le lagona alofa, tuuto, ma le naunau, faamanatu mai ia i tatou o pulega lelei e fa\u02bbaauau i le amiotonu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

E mafai e le ta'ita'i ona fausia le auivi o le sosaiete, ae o le fa'a-fa'atunuu e fa'avae ai ona ta'ita'i. O tamaiti a'oga o lo'o sauni e ta'ita'ia i tatou a taeao o i latou ia o lo'o tu'uina atu i latou lava i le fa'agaioiga malosi i aso nei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
