Describe a risk you took that you do not regret.

It was tough being alone and starting anew;

But amid all risks and sacrifices,

Coming to the United States,

Taking and graduating from my undergraduate degrees—

And soon be taking my M. B. A.—

I have all the reasons to be so thankful,

Not just for being in the U.S.,

but in Hawaii in particular.

I love these islands,

I now call home.

Thank You, God!
