Little something about Shari...

Here is a autobiography of my life...Well as far as I can remember, which I'm sure I left alot of things out as well...Enjoy, and  no laughing...hehe... 
 
I was born on March 22, 1974 in a small town of Wahiawa.  My Dad and Mom were also born and raised in Wahiawa.  Mom and Dad also went to Leilehua High School as well as me and my Brother...=)  I have one brother who is 11 months older (Daryl).  We were very close growing up, and later as we got older we had our many fights.  hehe...  Till this day we get along very well once again, and we are very close as well.  
 

 

Growing up I was a real tomboy.  Esp. growing up around sports.  My Father coached baseball for years till he got sick, and could no longer do what he enjoyed doing.  I wanted to play baseball, but my Father didn't like that idea.  Yes I was Daddy's little girl. hehe...  As years went by I played soccer for little over 6 years.  Mom and Dad was kept very busy from going to one game to another, esp since at that time my brother was also playing soccer.  We kept my parents busy all year round.  LOL  It didn't end till my brother graduated from High School.  I grew up in a very loving and supportive house hold.  Also grew up the old Japanese style.  My father, father was also very old fashion Japanese man.  Everything was boy boy boy...I got use to it after awhile. 

me & brother Daryl...

As one of the pictures of me, Donna, and Wade.  Well Wade is a childhood buddy.  I rememeber everyday after school coming home, and asking Mom can I go out and play w/Wade till dinner was ready.  From making rubber band guns, climbling trees, making mud pies w/sand & dirt.  Rascal things like getting a cup and filling it up w/dish soap and blowing it until the bubbles looked like a snow cone. hehe.  playing football w/the neigherhood kids.  from owning my own hot pink skateboard from HIC, and my girly girl bike.  hehe.  My father never allowed me to get a boys bike.  I remember him telling me your not a boy your a girl. hehe.  I love those childhood days...

In my Elementary school days to HIgh School days.  went to Japanese School, and remember meeting my bestfriend Donna.  So before class we use to go to this candy store up the street.  I think thats all we enjoyed about Japanese School. LOL.  Joinned the Hawaii Matsuri Taiko group for a couple of years, and  quit sometime durning my High School time.  From being in the hiking club for 4 years w/Wade, and joinning the LHS basketball team my Sophomore year in HS.  I also remember being shy till I hungout w/Donna, Bari, Wade, Kory, and Jennifer.  those were the days.  also from my very first boyfriend, very first crush, and Senior Prom.  Till I graudated from High School...

Boyfriend Rod & me at my Sr. Prom

Rod is from Moanalua HS C/O 1992

 

After I graduated from High School Wade left for California to attend school.  So from three of us, now it was down to two of us (Donna & Shari).  Donna has been there for me since my very first boyfriend till this day.  Even though we lost out of touch for awhile, she still remained my bestfriend.  Till this day we are close like Sisters.  =) a sister I never had...=)  We spend alot of time together now from excersing, Karate classes on Mondays, and Saturdays, blading, and walking. 

 

Donna also introduced me to Hope Chapel Mililani where we attended, and now still attend since my Junior year in HS.  Got Baptized July 28, 1991.  =)  She also introduced me to my very first Christian boyfriend. LOL.  Joinning the worship team, helping Sunday school, and teaching my own 3rd & 4th Grade Sunday School group.  attending church 3 times a week, and mini church.  also helping Donna out w/the Jr. High bible study, and in the church office where Donna once worked.  Those were the days that I wish I could go back do again...

 

1998 (Walt Disneyworld Florida)

 

Later in the years after High School went to LCC for my first year of College.  Then moved to HCC for another year.  Wasn't getting anywhere.  From there I attended Travel University International where I graduated.  one year later I attended Massage Specialist where I went through the schooling, and did my intern.  I worked for that company little over 5 years.  Got tired of it after awhile couldn't handle all the perverted people. LOL.  So it was time to move on once again.  I can say I have found what I enjoy doing.  Working in the medical field is something I enjoy doing, and working in the long term care program.  I'll be going back to school, and hitting the books next month at KCC.  and maybe later in one year transfer over to the UH Campus.  but this is how my life has been, and was.  many more years to come, and to enjoy...=) to be cont....
