As the Kapi‘o comes to an end, I wanted to reflect on my experience working for this newspaper. Working for this newspaper has been nothing short of awesome.
Having great co-workers to work with and a cool advisor makes the environment I’m in comfortable and friendly. As we worked with each other, there seemed to be no stress or tension for the most part. All of us got along as if we were friends. We got stories done when we could so that it did not seem like such a rush (except for printed issues). Some of the stories were not about KapCC, but some of the cool events happening around the island.
Being in Kapi‘o, I wanted a chance to write some stories that would intrigue the college students that read our paper. This experience has truly been a privilege. Combining my love for photography with journalism, I’ve begun to enjoy going out and finding all that happens on and off of the KapCC campus.
Maybe someday the Kapi‘o or some sort of student publication will rise and give voice to students again but for now, I bid all my coworkers and Kapi‘o adieu.
