Abstract
Brief excerpt from interview: It's a stage of the culture shock, where at first you come here and you're really excited and everything is new...and then there's a point in time where you're like 'okay, I have to adjust to all of this.' I guess I'm still in that adjusting period. Just going home, and then switching back to the city mentality and seeing all of this, it's very hard. It gets harder. I can't go home and visit as much because I have finals. Kauaʻi people, we get very homesick. When we come back [to Oʻahu], we see limitations. I had taken a 251 class where you give speeches and do research on just speaking. And that really changed how I looked at college. I became so much more interested in my classes. Finding communicology as my major really opened up a whole new door for me. It really makes appreciate that I came to college.
