“What values can be learned from the life of the person I most respect?”
Ever’s Korean Mural Design 2024
I chose FAIRNESS. I chose fairness because everyone should have what they need and get the same opportunities. Fairness is important because we can help others by practicing fairness. We can also strengthen our relationships with others by building trust and understanding. Implementing this value could change our lives and possibly change the world because everyone has the same opportunities to be great and support each other and themselves.
Ever’s grandmother taught her the values of passion, perseverance, diligence, and consideration through her own actions. Ever truly respects her grandmother because she imparted the important lesson that, while everyone is different, their life’s values and rights are equally important.

“How can we positively embody the ‘Ohana spirit’ in our lives?”
| 2023 Hangeul and Ohana Project |
Hangeul and Ohana Project Reflective Writing
I think that the most important thing that I learned during the ohana project was that we should always help people and give them support and kindness especially in times of need. If we needed help than we would be super grateful if people helped so we should help people that need help. You should always treat people how you want to be treated. I improved my learning of the Korean language while also learning how to make a delicious Korean treat. My understanding of the community also changed. I learned how important community and ohana are.I had so much fun doing this project and I am sad that it has come to an end. I hope we can do something like this again in the future.
“How can we create a better school environment?”

Ever has made remarkable progress in learning Korean this year, even though it was her first time learning the Korean language. Starting with reading and writing words of Korean, she went on to create her own introduction stop- motion video in Korean and showcased her amazing skills in imagination and design by editing a Korean book.
Ever’s diligence and creativity have truly brought vitality and meaning to our Korean lessons. She believed that the most valuable thing to change the world that we need is “Peace and Love.” And the Korean book is fulled with Ever’s passion for learning Korean.
“Hello! I’m Ever, My Korean name is everlasting “Star.”
I’m 11 years old. I live in Oahu, Hawaii. I’m an APIS, 5th grader student. I’m a Wisconsinite. So, I go to Wisconsin during vacation. I meet my friend on summer vacation. I like the sea. I like to eat sushi. And, I also like pizza. I like to drink chocolate milk. I have a dog named ‘Remi’ and she looks like this.
Do you have any pets? What are your hobbies? What do you like to do after school?
Thank you! Good bye~
I LOVE KOREAN CLASS. I joined a Korean class early this year. I learned to introduce myself in Korean. This means “Hi, my name is Ever, I like soccer.” I learned to say “I am very hungry,” in Korean. I know how to say “Mom, dog, pizza, it’s delicious, house, etc.” We did a song contest and learned a whole song called “Octopus dream.” We learned past tense, present tense, and future tense. We have the best Korean teacher. She is nice and happy. I love Korean class!!!!
