The Life Of an Overachiever That We Don’t See
May 3, 2023
Sacred Hearts Academy seniors: (Top, left to right) Karissalyn Chang, Samantha Europa, Kaelin Apuakehau, Zahria Bell, Jolie Taurua, Layla Remiticado, (Bottom, left to right) Ava Damo, Emily Trueba, Abigail Walker, Aaliyah Gamboa, Vanessa Welch, and Rory Redila gather in support of the Native Hawaiian and other Indigenous children who have gone missing due to the trafficking industry. The red handprints on each of their faces is a symbol that indicates our solidarity with indigenous women and children who are missing and/or have been murdered. It also represents the fact that this is an issue where many of our stories have been silenced. “People that we are supposed to be able to trust that are all around us could be perpetrators of this very crime, and we may not even know it. However, by learning about this and realizing the effects of it, we can empower and equip ourselves with the knowledge to protect ourselves and others.” Photo by Abigail Walker.

Emily is a first-year journalism student and a senior at the Academy. She hopes to be able to find connections within the Sacred Hearts community to the outside world and broaden her view of life by telling the stories of others. In her free time, Emily enjoys surfing, hiking, paddling, stargazing, and attempting to bake. A fun fact about her is that she was able to see the NEOWISE comet, which only comes into view of Earth every 6,800 years.
