Teen Hero

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Share your voice and your heart.
Listen to how it falls in
with the cosmic symphony.
Let it be imperfect,
incomplete, unrefined.
The masterpiece is coming.

When you think you know
all the answers, 
you have finally become 
a perfect fool.

Orange You Glad?




"Every Day Better"

This is a young man I know,
named Genshu Price.
One day Genshu's dad suggested
that he collect recyclables to
save money for college.

Because G is a very smart
and kind young man,
he turned recycling into a
calling, then into a 
501c Nonprofit Organization
named Bottles4College.
Genshu plans on sending OTHER
local kids to college even
before he is ready to attend himself!

Every week G and his family
personally collect many pounds
of cans and bottles. Small businesses,
schools, restaurants and many others
have joined the
Bottles4College movement.
G inspires many many of us!

I remind G to take time for
fun and to be a kid,
But he loves what he is doing.
Recognition, news stories and awards
are to him just opportunities
to spread his message.

In case you wonder,
this young man is just starting
High School!

Can't wait till he is our 
Senator or Governor.




The larger the 
island of knowledge, 
the longer the 
shoreline of wonder.
           Ralph W. Sockman



The one you really love
will never grow old to you.
Through the wrinkles of time,
through the bowed frame of years,
you will always see the dear face
and feel the warm heart union
of your eternal love.
  Alfred Montapert

The young can often be an inspiration to the rest of us.

I guess recycling has become more profitable. Years ago my son and I saved aluminum cans. With filled a 32-gallon trash can with crushed cans. It took months. Then we hauled it to the recycling center. We got $6.00 for 4 or 5 months of recycling. That was the end of that.

The quote under Strelitzia is so right. Such besserwissers make me furious 🥺 What a clever kid Genshu is! Every success for him in his studies!

Genshu is an example to us all to just get out and do something.
Old friends never look old do they?

Genshu Price is quite the entrepreneur. Good for him. I am truly impressed. Personally, I can't wait for him to turn 25 and run for the U.S. House of Representatives, although governor would be nice, too.

Great work of that boy and your photo's are top again. Well done.

James said...

Nice shots! Brings back memories. When I was a kid (7yrs to 13yrs) I recycled cans and bottles almost daily.

What an amazing young man, Cloudia. Hawaii can be very proud that we have a young man like Genshu living here.
