Dog
I am a friend of many
Everyday I put a smile on a person's face
I'm loyal to others and
persistent on getting the things I want
I have the talent of helping others and i
also have the courage to fight for my friends
Being alone is what I hate the most
and I tend to be grouchy at times
I may be seen as just an animal, but to my
master i'm seen as their
best friend that is loyal, persistent,
and helpful

Parent's comment (Mom)
1. The essay that I liked the most was about the H3 freeway, it's because of how
he was concerned of the Hawaiian ancestral remains that are buried in that location.
2. I like how he research but need more improvements in details.
3. The Ideas is one of his successful work.
4. I would like to see more improvements on organizing your Ideas.

H-3 Freeway
The H-3 freeway is actually one of the most historical places in Hawaii. Its a historical site because of the challenges Hawaii took to finish building the H-3 freeway. Its also a historical site because of the many changes that made Hawaii a better place. Another reason why the H-3 freeway is a historical place is because the H-3 is one of the nations most spectacular mountain drives in the nation.
The H-3 freeway (also known as the John A. Burns Freeway) first opened on December 12, 1997. The Freeway was the most beautiful and controversial highway ever built in Hawaii. That day also marked the end of the 37 years of the protests, legal battles, design changes and cost revisions against the H-3 being built. Community activists, environmentalists, and native Hawaiians were the ones that protested against the H-3. The Native Hawaiians were apart of this because the H-3 was built on top of a woman’s heiau or a sacred site for the Hawaiians.
During those 37 years, there were many Native Hawaiians that were upset with the government and wanted the H-3 from ever happening. Because of its location and the many cultural sites of the hawaiians led to many conflicts to building the H-3. This was one of the most dangerous one of the most spent projects hawaii ever faced upon making a 16 mile freeway.
Building the H-3 Freeway has also cost many injuries and 2 deaths to constructing it. On June 15 1990, there was a carpenter named Orlindo Domingo, at the age of 52, died when a 47 ton bridge accidentally slipped and fell 50 feet. Also on Jan 26, 1995, there was also a carpenter Steven J. Ouderkirk, at the age of 28, died when the concrete wall collapsed on him near the Haleiwa stream bed.

Although there were many conflicts into building this 25 year project, the result of building the H-3 freeway has been one of the most used freeways in the state. Now drivers finally have relief when it comes to going in and out of the North Shore. The Freeway was also previewed in the show Modern Marvels special episode SuperHighways because of how it was built on this small island.

Essay H-3
Rough Draft (Kc3)
There are many historical places in Hawaii and one of them is the H-3 freeway. Out of all the historical places of Hawaii I would have never thought that the H-3 would be a historical place. But after all the research I’ve done, I was very surprised of seeing how building the H-3 was one of the most controversial issue in the state of Hawaii.
