Hello! My name is Kealoha Braceros and I am student in the College of Education, at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. I was born in Honolulu, Hawaii and raised in Merced, California. I moved back to the islands when I was in high school and currently reside in Waipahu Hawaii. I am currently working towards getting my B.Ed in the Dual Prep Elementary and Early Childhood Education Program, and plan to graduate in the Spring of 2022. I enjoy hiking, listening to and creating music, engaging in meaningful conversations, and spending time with children. I try my best to live an examined life, one driven by inquiry and a desire for peace, love, and meaning. My goal is to bring my passion for living life into the classroom so that I can be an effective educator, role model, and friend for my students.
