Olulu

While every aspect of Kawika's garden impressed me, there was one plant in particular that grabbed my attention - the olulu. I had remembered seeing a TV show about the scientists that scaled the cliffs to pollenate this plant to prevent it from becoming extinct. I like to think that every student is like an olulu - rare, treasured, endangered...sometimes without hope and in desperate need of someone that is willing to try anything to help them persist.

Thanks for YOUR willingness to scale the cliff for your students. You are an amazing bunch of people. I hope you can let go of your content, your worries, your fears and dream big.
