Who am I?

Hello, my name is Emily Thompson. I was born in the town of Waimea, Hawaii but lived in the district of North Kohala for most of my adolescent life. Going into 6th grade, I moved back to Waimea and joined the wonderful school of Hawaii Preparatory Academy. During this chapter of my life, I also joined Kona Crush club soccer in Kona, a town about an hour away from Waimea. Soccer is a huge part of my life and Kona Crush helped me build a great foundation of skills and passion for soccer that I was able to bring to my high school Varsity Soccer team. I am really passionate about learning new things, exercise, our environment, and spending time with my friends and family. I have a strong connection to the big island because I have lived here all my life and I couldn't imagine any other place being my home. I am excited that I get to spend my last year living here creating such a real and impactful project. My project is going to be focusing on bringing attention to and educating the youth about the issues surrounding climate change and global warming. I am eager to start changing and protecting the future of our young children and adolescents before it is too late!
