As usual when you're in a strange bathroom, you get wary when you hear others enter, more or less get in the stall next to you. There was a group of boys that came in, they were busy being loud and having fun...you could hear there was ribbing and da boys were pushing each other around in the bathroom. Usual "boy" stuff.

I heard someone get into the stall next to me. I looked down and saw pieces of toilet paper on the ground that someone else had left there...plus an empty candy wrapper. I heard him get disgusted yelling out, "Eh some people came in here don't know how take care our stuff!" I saw hands pick up the rubbish and heard the toilet flush, and I heard the group of boys leave.

I was surprised. Other than a bathroom at home, if I see tp on the floor, I don't touch it. But whoever was in that next stall, had enough ownership of his school in him to get mad that someone mad his place dirty, but also picked it up and threw it away. Seeing this made me very hopeful for our youth. I am hopeful that our youth will take ownership of our lands that way too or are more careful when going to the beach, outside, with friends; that they will mālama ʻaina. Imua Kamehameha!
