Monkeys

Mr. V, English Teacher

September 8, 2023

Aloha Kamehameha. Mr. V back again trying to make you better people.

You know what’s really mashing Mr. V’s kalo today?

People who act like monkeys.

Mr. V gets it, some of you have extra energy, some of you need to expend that energy, but there are appropriate ways to do it. An appropriate way is to go to the gym at Ka’ahumanu. Go workout, run on the treadmill, lift some weights, do Zumba or whatever new fitness craze is going on. The problem is some of you instead choose to do inappropriate things to burn your energy. Some of you are acting like the monkeys in the Honolulu Zoo. You are climbing on things you shouldn’t be, hanging from places you shouldn’t, and just acting like fools. The BRAND NEW solar-powered benches are for SITTING! NOT HANGING FROM LIKE MONKEYS! The fact that Mr. V has to tell you this makes him very angry… and you don’t want to see Mr. V when he’s angry! Stop being monkeys, the benches are for sitting, studying, relaxing. They are not for you to play on. This is why we can’t have nice things on this campus. Be better. Take care of things. Because people who continue to act like monkeys, that’s what’s mashing my kalo!

About the Contributor

Paris Kekua, Editor-in-Chief

Aloha! 'O Paris Kekua ko'u inoa. I am the Editor-in-Chief of this year's Ka Mō'ī staff. Before I entered middle school, I told myself that I wanted to become a veterinarian after watching endless tv shows about Dr. Pol and his life-saving skills. As I progressed toward my high school years, I have learned that I held a strong passion toward my English core and have decided I would work at a job where I would be able to tell stories through my writing. Therefore, I had first joined Ka Mōʻī because I wanted to improve my writing skills and apply them to my now aspiring career: scriptwriting. I have always loved to read and write since I was young. I used to keep a journal with me and wrote in a scribble-scrabble language about the things I liked and disliked. I was also a big movie buff growing up (and still am) to the point where I started analyzing some shows and movies just for fun. It was not until watching the end credits of the latest Star Wars movie that I wanted to be a part of that process. I enjoyed my time doing journalism since my last semester and have been blessed to be returning to Ka Mōʻī for my Senior year! Although, this year, my goal is to better improve Ka Mōʻī since last year; everything from the way the class is taught, the stories made in our printed newspapers and online articles, the online website, and building even more opportunities to spread the news that would benefit students, teachers, administrators, and KS staff. Every person on campus should be educated on topics regarding our entire school and integrated into life beyond our school. Ka Mōʻī will be that bridge keeping us grounded and well-rounded.
