Hello!
Hello!
Hi! My name is Haley. I grew up on Oahu's North Shore in a little country town called Waialua. I've lived there all my life, and where I attended Waialua High and Intermediate School. I graduated from that very school back in 2019. If I were an artist tool, I'd be a paint palette – a vessel of endless possibilities, blending diverse colors to create a vibrant tapestry of life. Much like the artist's palette, I would revel in the diversity of experiences, emotions, and perspectives contributing to life's masterpiece. Each color on the palette represents a unique aspect of the human experience, and the delicate balance and thoughtful arrangement of these elements craft a meaningful composition.

Abstract:
This project provides an overview of Waialua and Haleiwa, located on Oahu’s North Shore. It explores the region’s history, including the plantation era’s lasting impact and subsequent evolution into a tourism destination. Challenges around infrastructure, housing affordability, and income inequality are also discussed. The essay concludes by outlining potential next steps to promote sustainability and prosperity, including strategic tourism development, infrastructure investment, and policies supporting social and economic equity. Overall, Waialua and Haleiwa have rich cultural heritage and opportunities for growth, but must proactively address infrastructural, socioeconomic, and developmental challenges to build an equitable and vibrant North Shore community.

CREATIVE PROCESS:
The concept of creativity has come a long way. The Old Greeks would call those creative forces muses, other religions referred to them as God. Today people still mostly treat creativity as an aha moment outside the area of influence. However, just by looking at the creative process one can tell, that creativity and creative work is more than just that one "Aha-Moment" (insight). It is clear that generating ideas demands planning and preparation, identifying something of interest like a problem, an opportunity or a challenge, doing research. This then leads to thinking of a solution, allowing time to incubate and iterations before arriving at something “complete.” Students learn that hard work is what makes their ideas come to life and sticktuiveness is what helps them get better.
