dc.description	Antonette Yamamoto grew up in Moloka‘i, and attended school there until going to Lahainaluna in 1981 where she became the first girl boarder from Moloka‘i to graduate. She speaks about growing up in Moloka‘i with her family, and getting recruited for Lahainaluna and eventually getting in. The transition from Moloka‘i to Lahaina was rocky for the first month, but eventually got much easier and enjoyable with the help of friends. She recalls going to Ke‘anae with her roommate’s family, and the extracurricular activities that she participated in in the boarding department other than her jobs in the swinery and in the dorms with the matron. She speaks to the life skills that she learned at Lahainaluna, and some of her most memorable takeaways are going up to the L on Pu‘u Pa‘upa‘u, hanging out with her friends on Front Street at Lahaina Wharf. She now lives in Moloka‘i with her husband and children, and works as a substitute school nurse.
