Abstract
Brief excerpt from interview: It definitely motivated me, partially because I got a good grade on it. Kind of a mixed reaction to it. At first, it kind of demotivated me because it was a bit scary seeing the requirements. But then when I actually got started and started using the resources I had available, I was pretty motivated, once I got started. It was something I had not done before. It’s something you actually present to the Director, something that has to be precise, uses figures and notes. It was 4 pages, single spaced. As a junior, I hadn't written too many things yet. So for me, that was sort of a hurdle: 8 pages double-spaced. It [field work] was pretty motivating, actually. It was interesting doing research on Moʻiliʻili using some maps and all that information, synthesizing it into my paper . . . Pretty familiar with the neighborhood--I went to Punahou, right down the road, and I'm always driving down University Ave . . . it's not really conducive to hanging out, but I have shopped there.
