“What values can be learned from the life of the person I most respect?”
“Hello, I’m Riku, an 8th grader at APIS Hawaii. The person I admire the most is my father. He is the president of the “AsReader” that created the self-checkout system and the facial recognition system. He wanted the world to be better, to live comfortably, and to care for others. He taught me true selflessness because his creation will be helpful for all human beings. So I want to be like my father.”

Family is a mother who gave birth to you, a father who supported you, and brothers and sisters who were born from the same mother and provide you with various kinds of support, and also healing if you know your pets.
I’m very sorry to hear about Maui.
I think it’s a bad idea to litter, because first a cigarette was set on fire by a fire, and then the winds caused more than half of the island to catch on fire, and many people died.
I thought Jesus was a very great person with a kind heart who helped people.
In times of crisis, it’s essential to reflect on the kindness and compassion exemplified by figures like Jesus, who dedicated themselves to helping others and making the world a better place.
The beautiful name Ohana makes us happy
우리를 행복으로 이끄는 이름, 오하나
(The name that leads us to happiness, Ohana)

Learning Korean in English is not an easy task, but he always works hard and enjoys himself with a bright smile during Korean class. He insists that choosing “Joy” is an essential element in making the world more beautiful and reliable. God always tells us to rejoice, and Riku’s face is always full of smiles. We all feel happy watching his positive and bright personality.
