Hello!
Hello!
Hi, everyone! My name is McGwire Ishikawa. I was born and raised in Mililani, and I attended Mililani High School. After graduating in 2020, I went to Leeward Community College for two years and proceeded to transfer over to West O‘ahu. If I were to be an artist's tool, I would want to be a book because of its ability to bring stories to life. Since I was a kid, I loved creating and telling some of my own stories, which served as a great way to express myself. Additionally, I had the chance to tell other people's stories. Whether it was through my high school's newspaper or through a video documentary, it was one of the best feelings to be able to give someone else an outlet to share their own experiences.

Research Question: How can we foster healthy parasocial relationships?
Abstract:
Abstract:
Due to the advancements in technology and media, parasocial relationships (PSRs) have become more prevalent in this day and age. Socialization and connection are common human needs, and PSRs, despite being superficial in nature, can foster these connections. When a PSR isn’t nurtured properly, it can enter an unhealthy state. Case studies involving celebrities such as Rebecca Schaeffer and Colleen Ballinger bring to light how dangerous it can be when a PSR goes wrong, but cases from Ludwig and jschlatt showcase how celebrities can take steps towards fostering a healthy PSR with their fans. Healthy PSRs are beneficial, and can be especially helpful for the development of adolescents. Finding good role models to look up to helps them grow up with special interests or personality traits. As of now, there is no perfect method to foster a healthy PSR, but the methods that are currently being used pave the way for benefits to both the fan and celebrity’s mental health.

CREATIVE PROCESS:
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.
