Response to "Maui No Ka Oi"

Coming from the large city of San Antonio Texas I have learned to appreciate the quialities of an island life. I grew up on the outskirts of the big city,but the need for supplies drew me closer to the fast-paced world. There were often gangs selling drugs, using drugs, and even killing in the neighborhoods. Even though "SA Town" is a nice place, there is always a potential for gang violence. There were times when I was offered a place in a gang. Thankfully my parents never allowed me to stray. Fortunately, I was able to move to Maui on my birthday in 2004, to renew my interest in the beauty of nature. I have learned that no matter where you come from, or where you plan to go, Maui always tops the list.
