Coming of Age Poster- Draft

     first draft

                                         Coming of age

                                                           By Ryan Souza

    BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!! As I hear the sound of my alarm going off at 6:30a.m that was the sign that I knew it was game day. As I stretched out of my bed just wishing I could sleep in I do a quick prayer that said “dear lord just lets us have a good day today and let me do my best amen”. Just with a quick splash of water in my face I am awake. This story is the time that I realized that I just needed one more person to watch my game and that was my great grandma.

    As the league announcer pronounces welcome to the Aiea little leagues all start tournament. At that moment I knew that it was time to play some baseball. “Ryan Souza your up to bat” when I heard my name I glared into the fans and could not spot out my great grandma, not even my mom was there so at that moment I knew something was up. So I the moment I go into the plate I do my best to focus but my mind is saying “where is ever one”. Strike one, strike two, strike three I am out.

   On July 10 was my grandmas birthday and she had the biggest and priceless smile on her face. My grandma means so much to me by teaching me so much about life and how to cook one dish she taught cook was her papaya soup from dicing the papaya, to making the both and then serving it to the family. To me my grandma was my idol she taught me how to show respect to other people and just to live life the way you want to live it and no one else can change you.

   “Here we go Aiea here we go” it was the bottom of the sixth inning with us up 2 runs against Honolulu. We were on the field with two out, then all of a sudden a straight line shot was hit to me and I caught it for the third out. So as I ran in I finally seen my mom and for some reason she was sprinting down the hill and called my name “Ryan Ryan” so as I ran to her she said “baaban (great grandma) passed away and all of a sudden my heart just drop and I was tearing so much I had to leave my game. As we rushed to the house I could just see cars parked anywhere. So as I walked up the stairs I couldn’t look or even wave I rushed pass the room my grandma was in and went it to the other room and just laid there just saying god how come it had to happen now lord and I just cried and cried.

   This had made me become such stronger person because I knew it was time for her and she had left me with a lot of good experience from here. I knew that it was time for her to pass and as she can live a happy life up there instead of her suffering down here. She knew that it was time for her to go because she couldn’t teach me more than what she already had. Even though I really miss her she can still make me a good person even though she not here. I learned that I can move on with the lessons she has gave me and I will always love her.

Tourist and the blow hole
 
     The case on Mr.Potts, the 44 year old man who came down to vist the nakalele point located in maui which was the site of there blow hole and accidently feel into the blow hole when a big wave shot up the hole. So it turned out that the next 3 day Potts was no where to be found. So i think that it f Potts family would try to sue our state they would be wrong bcause in the paper it tells that there where signs that said "park and walk at your own risk",Potts family may think that that is just wrong to use that against them but its true and same for all the other familys about there family members dying . All in all i belive that if our state could put more signs to show that its off limits then maybe people will lisen and there would be no one else to blame but them because they should be warned by the signs.
