My name is Riley Blaber. I am a junior at Kealakehe High school on the Big Island of Hawaii. I love to spend my time playing soccer with my best friends, painting, and baking. I am currently the Hawaii State Student Council representative for my school and hold leadership positions in my school’s Key Club and Interact Club. I am consistently inspired by my mom’s work in improving education. Recently, I have realized that students in my community have become less engaged in learning and less involved in student affairs. Only a handful of students have the motivation instilled in them to work diligently and to take on roles in our school community. I hope to find ways to encourage students to take charge of their future now and to make the most of their virtual learning.
