Wow!! Orientations was amazingly beautiful. I love everything about it. From the speakers, and meeting new friends. I really enjoyed Alisi presentation with the kava bowl(kumete). Instead, of doing the original kava ceremony Alisi actually had the kumete in the middle with inspirational words in it. She had us pick words out of the kumete and speak from our own perspective how this word relates and what we think the meaning is to our Pacific Islander. My word was HARMONY. I said this word defines who we are, by the way we sing and the harmony in our voices.
Marie Calendar, was a great get together with all the researcher, interns, and staff members from OCAPICA. This showed us how much of a family we are no matter where and what color skin we are. Getting to know the researcher more was also a great opportunity for us, am happy we got to know them slowly. To top it off, the food was great lol.
Dorming with the girls was my favorite. It was a great experience not only learning how the dorm life is but also getting to know our peers more. My roomate were Amelia.Kuuip.Theresa they were amazing and funny girls to hang out with. The best part was when we had company from putu.sani.nikki.bri and we all played a game called "I never & truth or dare" which showed us all our fun side.
Other than that i really enjoyed orientations, meeting new people, and also the speakers were great!!
