For this work sample I created an essay called "The day in the life". For this assignment we chose a Hawaiian Hero who bettered Hawaii and helped Hawaii grow. My Hawaiian Hero's name is Isaac Davis. He was part of the British Military and sailed the seas of Hawaii with his crew. His crew was going to do a trade on the coast of Kona, all of a sudden they were attacked and everyone died but him. Isaac Davis was captured and assigned to be an advisor for King Kamehameha. They grew a good bond and became good friends, Isaac were to teach King Kamehameha about western civilization and modern tools.
I chose Isaac Davis because he seemed like a very good person, though his whole crew was killed in an ambush he didn't hold any grudges and bettered Hawaii drastically.
The 21st century skill this demonstrates is Civic Literacy and Engagement, I learned about someone who was into Hawaiian Politics.
The type of essay I made was a diary and log of Isaac Davis's accomplishments and things he found along the way of sailing over the pacific ocean, what he did as an advisor of King Kamehameha, and what he did in his free time. I think I did a good job illustrating through words what Isaac Davis was going through and how he felt when his crew died.
One thing I could of done was to add more detail about Isaac Davis's life, not of being an advisor to King Kamehameha, but being a father and friends to people closest to him.

Day 1 - Hello, We’ve been sailing for quite some time now, during this voyage we’re travelling to Hawaii to do a trade along the coast of Kona. Hopefully we can get some new items, and expand our troops. I’ll be documenting my discoveries and journaling what I’ve come across.
Day 2 - Hello, we’ve almost reached the Kona Coast, I can see the cliffside and mountains from here, hopefully everything goes good, and we can trade some valuable supplies with each other.
Day 3 - Hello, we’re just arriving at the Kona Coast, I see many people here for some reason, but everything looks like it’s going well. *CRASH* *BOOM*. Oh my, it seems that the ship has been attacked, we must flee and get out of this dire situation.
Day 3.5 - It looks like the enemies have found me, I won’t go out without a fight, my whole crew has died and it looks like I’m the sole survivor.
Day 5 - Well, I got captured and told everything I knew, the king was impressed with the discoveries and accomplishments I’ve made, he offered me to be his advisor, or I die. Not much of a choice so I definitely want to be his advisor.
Day 6 - I’ve become an advisor for King Kamehameha, this is one of the most sought after accomplishments any hawaiin can have. I’ve become acquaintances with John Young, another advisor to King Kamehameha. I've already let the king know about modern technology and civilization. We’re thinking about making more advancements in technology.
Day 7 - It’s been about 2 days since I’ve become an advisor for King Kamehameha, we still have a lot of work to do, I have to somehow make a treaty between King Kamehameha, and the King of Kaua’i. Hopefully I can make something work.
Day 8 - The King of Kaua’i has arrived, I’ve made all the preparations necessary. I have heard some of the lower guards for King Kamehameha talking about poisoning the King Of Kaua’i, I can’t let this happen, I must let him know about this.
Day 9 - I’ve just told the King of Kaua’i about the plan of them poisoning him. I think the king trusts me now, this should help with making peace between King Kamehameha and him. I’m not really feeling well though, I just went to eat and now I’m feeling light headed. I believe I’ve been poisoned.
