In her address to the graduates, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard said, “Figuring out every step of your future is less important than answering one very important question—what is your purpose in life? As you venture out into the world, may you be motivated by aloha and a desire to be of service. Find peace, love, strength and courage in aloha—to stand up for what is pono, to fight for our people, to fight for our ‘aina, and our future. Congratulations to the Class of 2018. Go Farmers!”
