Jamye Grace Aquino Kamali’i

(She/her/hers)

I am located on the island of O’ahu, Hawai’i and living in Waipahu, O’ahu.

O’ahu is very popular for their beaches. We have the Quicksilver Eddie Aikau Big Wave Surf Contest at Waimea Bay annually. People from all over the world come to our island to watch professional surfers, shred at the bay.

I am interested in a lot of things but I enjoy being in nature. For example, I liked to go to the beach and hike. But during my free time, I enjoy reading and listening to music.

I usually have tendencies to get tired of things very quickly thats why I do not have specific hobbies other than doing outdoor activities. Since nature is a constant and I live on an island there is nothing much to do than hike, surf, bodyboard, and just be with the environment at all times. My most recent interest has to be crocheting. I found an interest in crocheting because the endless amount of creations that can be used by others and me. Also, since an immense amount of us are struggling financially, we need to think of multiple incomes. I think that I can become passionate in this art, by continuing practicing, and having patience with it. I also have been biking around in my neighborhood much more. I feel that I have become more independent by gaining experience with different multitudes of activities.
