Aloha e aloha e
'Ano 'ai ke aloha e
Aloha ae aloha e
A nu ay ki aloha e
There's no place I'd rather be
Then on my surfboard out at sea
Lingering in the ocean blue
And If I had one wish come true
I'd surf till the sun sets
Beyond the horizon
Thanks Lilo and Stitch for the song theme.
Meet Katrina
Katrina is an 8th grade student, whom I have had the pleasure of teaching for the last two and a half years. Katrina is a SoTRE. A SoTRE is a Student of Teacher of Researcher Experiences. Katrina has come all the way from Florida to present two posters at the Ocean Science Meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii http://www.sgmeet.com/osm2014/default.asp.
One of the posters is her own scientific research, "Too Salty for You". She presented this poster in the Youth Poster Session. The other poster was a co-creation that explains what being a SoTRE has meant to her and her school mates. The SoTRE poster was co-created with Ace and Emily and was presented in the main poster session.*
Poster Sessions
By: Katrina Y
February 2014
Posters, posters everywhere!! As soon as you walk in thousands of people surround all these boards that were once empty. As I am setting up my poster people are already starting to crowd. Once I was done I looked around to see who I can talk to. Next thing I know a woman I have never seen before walks up to me. She told me her name was Kathy and that she was my mentor. She offered me advice and I asked "how do I become more confident while speaking?" **Sadly she said it was just through **practice and I only had about five minutes before people would start coming around.
The time has come. I have my first visitor and I have to give my presentation. I felt like the room just got a thousand times hotter. I finally finished and I feel a wave of relieve wash over me. As the poster session went on and more people came to my poster, I gained confidence. By the end of the night I felt like a pro.
