You all made being so far from home much easier and I cannot thank you all enough for that. You all accepted us right away and I felt so welcome. One of the best parts about my co-op experience was the Fukuji and Lum family. I feel so much more confident in my skills in school because of what I learned at Fukuji and Lum. It was really amazing to realize exactly how much I learned. I had no idea how much I had absorbed until I was sitting in my spring and summer lecture halls and actually making connections from what I saw on co-op in my classes. When I completed my co-op I knew that I had learned so much from working at Fukuji and Lum. From sliding down muddy mountains in the dark with Ashley, watching Colby almost die in the ocean multiple times, and watching Justin cook 10 pounds of chicken at a time, I have so many special memories with each of them. Ashley, Justin and Colby became my family and I don’t know what I would do without each of them in my life. If I hadn’t co-oped in Hawaii, I may not have the three new sibling-friends that I have now.

I even got to learn how to hula dance! Unfortunately I never got to swim with dolphins but I did get to see both dolphins and whales from shore so I can settle with that! I am glad to say that I did get to hike Stairway to Heaven and the Pill Boxes at sunrise and I ate an enormous amount of acai and pitaya bowls that I miss so dearly. When I wrote my first blog post, I wrote down all the things I wanted to do before I left the island. I learned a lot about the importance of interdisciplinary communication from working at the front desk. Working at the front desk showed me how complicated patient care can be. It was amazing to watch people make improvements in the pool and then to watch them continue to improve on land. Working at the clinic, pool, and pool front office allowed me to experience so many different aspects of the physical therapy profession. There was never a dull moment! I learned something from every person I worked with. Everyone at Fukuji and Lum was so positive and fun to work with. Even though I had to wake up super early every morning (which is not easy for me I am not an early morning person at all), I looked forward to go to work. One thing I tell people when they ask me about my experience is that I never once woke up dreading to go to work.

My experience was positive in so many dimensions and I learned so much from it, if I was forced to distill my time in Hawaii at Fukuji and Lum into a considerately short series of phrases, I would say that I found a home there, a place that I hold in my heart, and that I dream of returning. How could I describe such an incredible experience without making them listen to me go on for hours? Amazing doesn’t even begin to cover it. “How was Hawaii?” they would ask me over and over again.
