This is Kula Kukonu. She is a senior at Hawaii Pacific University who is majoring in Communication Studies and minoring in Writing. Kula and I known each other almost 4 years and I would like to share a little bit about her.
So here are some of the responses that I got while interviewing her:
1. How did you choose you major?
"I’ve always been fascinated with how we communicate with others since I was a little girl--especially language. I remember when I was in first grade and pondering over the words, “wagon” and “blue.” My mind was trying to wrap up how language assigns meaning to understand our world. In my head I was thinking, “How do we know that blue is ‘blue’? In other languages, it’s something different for the same thing.”
2. Why did you pick HPU?
"I liked the fact that there are small classes, diversity, and many opportunities to interact with international students. Also, her mom is an alumna of HPU and which helped me paved the way for my journey here."
