I would rather live in a utopia as a normal person, because I don’t like the idea of being supreme ruler in a dystopia- I just think everyone would hate me. I’m generally not a person who takes a lot of risks- so living in a utopia as a completely normal person sounds awesome to …

Friday 9/13 Would you rather be invisible or be able to fly?
I would rather be invisible because I could be in places that are almost impossible for visible people to be in. I would try tons of new things, like sit in on a college class, go to a Hollywood movie premiere, and even hang out with a different group of friends to see what they …

Thursday 9/12 When you were writing your timeline, what was your favorite memory to relive? what was your least favorite?
My favorite memory to relive was when I saw snow in Arizona, while visiting the Grand Canyon. It wasn’t my first time seeing snow, but it was still one of the only times in my life that I have. I was with my family, including grandparents, aunties, uncles, and cousins. We ran out of our …
Tuesday 9/10 What do you know/fear/like/are excited about the college essay?
I know that the college essay is a major part of the college application process. I definitely fear the college essay because it could make or break one’s chances of getting into their dream school, just because their essay didn’t meet the standards of a certain college. But every college/university has their own standards, so …

Book Choice: Which book looks the most interesting to you? Why?
My Life, My Love, My Legacy looks the most interesting to me. It’s the memoir of Coretta Scott King, and I’m interested in learning new information about the King family that the general public might not know. I like to learn about social and political culture of the past, and I think the civil rights …

Friday 9/6 Would you rather always have to announce yourself when walking into a room or do cartwheels on your way out?
I would rather always have to announce myself when walking into a room, because it seems like it would draw less attention. I try to greet my teachers whenever I walk into their classrooms, so I think it would be fairly easy to tack on an extra sentence informing everyone of my presence. If I …
Friday 8/30 Would you rather lose one ear or one eye? Explain your choice.
I would rather lose one ear, because I value my sight more than my hearing. I think life would be a lot more difficult, and frankly, less vibrant with only one eye. And with one ear, I would still hear many things, but I might have to turn my head at times or strain my …

Thursday 8/29 Why did you choose to take this class (or how did you end up in it)? What do you hope to gain from CNF this fall?
I’ve heard good things about CNF- that it teaches you writing tips for college essays, and is an opportunity to freewrite without too many rules. It was my first choice, because I want to strengthen my writing skills and become more confident in writing personal narratives. I hope to gain an understanding of the college …
Wednesday 8/28 What is your relationship with writing like? Describe the good, bad, and the ugly
My relationship with writing has generally been pretty positive throughout my whole life. When I was in elementary school, I realized that I enjoyed writing (and English in general) more than most other subjects. I like how writing is graded more on effort and being detailed, and is always up for interpretation. Reading a lot …
Monday 8/26 How did you get your name? Explain any/all parts in detail.
My first name, Malia, comes from my paternal grandmother. Her name is Mary, and Malia is it’s Hawaiian translation. My parents wanted myself and my siblings to have Hawaiian first names. For my middle name, Sunny, my parents just liked the name; so much in fact that they’ve called me Sunny my whole life. My …
