Thanksgiving By the Numbers

Thanksgiving in Hawaii is a showcase of the island state’s unique melting pot of cultures.

A survey of HBA high school students found that rice and other Asian dishes were common accompaniments to traditional fare like turkey and ham. We also found that 4% of survey respondents did not celebrate Thanksgiving, choosing to spend their Thursday evening on early bird Black Friday shopping. When it comes to shopping, HBA students can take some credit in helping boost holiday sales, with 67% of them spending more than $50 on average on Black Friday purchases. Below are some highlights from our survey.

My life as a writer would be best described as something new. I have had my fair share of writing book reports, essays, and persuasive paragraphs, but only recently have I enjoyed writing about my experiences, and writing about what I want to write about. Whether it is about how I feel in certain situation, or anything I love about my friends, I keep it all in a book full of my opinions and thoughts. I hope to one day become a good enough writer that I will be able to clearly express my opinion on things, and share my ideas with the reader. I hope that I will be intriguing and inspiring, and maybe even change the reader's perspective. Most of all, I want to write things that people would actually want to read.
