| | Emma Yuen Personal Statement |
 | | I have been incredibly lucky to live in the beautiful natural areas of Hawaii, with its gorgeous landscapes of waterfalls, lava fields, valleys and rainforests. |
 | | In Hawaii, nature affects everyone in the community: the tourists that flock to our clean beaches, the nature-worshipping ancient Hawaiian culture, the scientists who study the evolutionary wonders, the residents who depend on quality watersheds, etc. I feel that, by striving to protect the environment, I am also indirectly helping the people of Hawaii also. |
 | | Though I often promote environmentalism because of practical reasons, places like Hawaii inspire people like me to love and protect the environment, and gorgeous places and exotic and amazing species must also be preserved for eternity. |
