Response to Bernice Puahi Bishop

Although I am not Hawaiian, I was born and raised on the Big Island and to see the Kamehameha schools enrich so many lives of almost everyone I grew up with is amazing. There are so many benefits of that school as an alternative to some of the not so great public schools on the islands. And for a great leader like Bernice Pauahi Bishop to develop something that would touch us all years and years later is very empowering and the works of a great leader. Although Hawaii has changed so much since her time, her values have been intact for that school system. Its also nice to see someone near to home appreciated as a leader that we can all see the effects on a more personable level.
