PROFILE
Hey everyone my name is Nick Arakawa. I was born and raised on the island of Oahu. In my blog I will attempt to discuss various topics related to Hawaii. Hopefully by talking about these topics, it will allow people to see the "local life style" and eventually paint their own image. CREATIVE WRITING In college I started with an interest in Microbiology but had that dream was shattered when I found out that math I didn't really get along. Sadly, I really do enjoy scientific theory. I then switched to English to pursue my interest in creative writing but had to go on hiatus for financial reasons. However, after surviving a few economical hiccups, I completed college with a degree in Sociology. LESSONS OF MANY DISCIPLINES The skills and knowledge that I gathered shaped me into a well rounded individual. To me, a few of the most important skills that I learned from these different disciplines were to do my best to be objective when necessary, and most of all, never judge a book by its cover. Some of my best information, skills, and delightful surprises came from unlikely sources. MAKING THE BLOG To be honest, I don't have much confidence when it comes to starting up a blog. RETURNING TO HAWAII But after traveling to different places and having a taste of what their cultures are like, I couldn't help but have cultural envy. Then after taking a step back and trying to look at things objectively it helped remind me of how unique things are here in Hawaii and how much I was taking these things for granted. Don't get me wrong, we could definitely learn a thing or two from the world. However, I'm also certain that with the right push, Hawaii has the opportunity to impact the world in unexpected way."
