Hi my name is Jaycee Paat and this is my story. I was born in Hawaii in 2002. I first grew up in Kalihi then in 2012 I moved to Liliha. I went to Kauluwela elementary school and Kawananakoa middle school. I made a funny quote with my friends “with great grades comes great responsibility”. It serves as a reminder for us, once we get a good grade such as an A we need to do our best to keep it like that.

I like anime such as Sword Art Online, Tokyo Ghoul, Kabeneri of the Iron Fortress and Parasyte. My favorite movies are Deadpool, Warcraft and Suicide Squad. I work better when I listen to music, such as Heathens by Twenty One Pilots, Purple Lamborghini by Skrillex & Rick Ross and much more. On my free time I like to read mangas, Marvel and DC comics, listen to music, draw, watch T.V. and eat but I mostly like to hang out with my friends.
