How do Marshallese students rise as leaders in their community while still in high school? How do Marshallese youth leaders balance the day-to-day pressures of school, family, and work with their efforts to promote culture in organizations, such as the Islander Club?
In this episode, Honey Andrew joins hosts Marcina Langrine and Matthew John to discuss these issues — namely, how she balances her roles as Islander Club president, senior student in the student class council, student athlete, and part-time worker outside of school. We cover her future endeavors and goals, as well as hearing her personal stories about sports and her experience as a Marshallese student in the Springdale School district.
