Mission Statement

I just started summer session course this week - Hospitality Management (HOST 290) with instructor Mrs. Rosalie Fernandez. What a great and passionate teacher! So far I'm enjoying this class, and I'm sure I'll enjoy it for the rest of the course as well. Although this class isn't necessary for the associates culinary degree, I actually don't need this class because as I mentioned in an earlier post, I'm cutting my KCC associates degree short, so that i can hop off to the CIA. But, I heard that there would be some writing in this class, and although it's not much, it gives me the chance to write and reflect on things pertaining to my life and career. So far it's doing just that. My first assignment is to write a mission statement based on some Hawaiian values that we're reading about in one of our text books Managing with Aloha, by Rosa Say.
So, I've completed my first draft. I'm sure there will be times in my life which this will change, but for now, I think this is it:

Mission Statement July 2010: Mark Enomoto

“My mission is to ‘Imi ola, or to seek the best out of life. I am driven to do the best I can with this life given to me so that I can positively touch the lives of my ohana and community.”

Aloha & Mahalo (Love & Thankfulness)
I want to share love and thankfulness to God and everyone that surrounds me.

Ho’ohana (Intent & Purpose)
I want to live each day with the intentions of doing work that is positive – for those around me, as well as for myself.

Kuleana (Responsibility)
I want to be a responsible leader, husband, father, and human being.

Ha’aha’a (Humility)
I want to always remain humble so that my heart and mind are open to receiving the gift of knowledge.

Pono (Rightness & Balance)
I want to live a balanced life between health, family, and career.
