Description

Hosted by Lance Chase, this episode of Focus Hawaii features Jennifer and Nicole Kajiyama, high‑achieving twin juniors at Kahuku High School, who share their experiences as student leaders, scholars, and multiple‑time participants in National History Day competitions. The twins discuss their award‑winning research projects focused on Hawai‘i history, including their in‑depth dramatic presentation on Walter Murray Gibson, a complex nineteenth‑century political figure whose ambitions, controversies, and influence on the Hawaiian monarchy embodied both tragedy and triumph. Beyond their history scholarship, Jennifer and Nicole describe their active roles in state and district student government, leadership conferences, church youth organizations, and extracurricular clubs, highlighting the opportunities available in Hawai‘i’s public schools. Through thoughtful reflection, the episode underscores the value of civic engagement, rigorous academic inquiry, and supportive family and community in shaping motivated young leaders.
