Hi all, my name is Mahealani Rowe, but I just go by Mahea (Ma-HEY-a) for short. My name is Hawaiian and it means Golden Moon Child. I am 19 years old and I have a loving, fun, crazy family that I adore. Now, I hope you don't take me for the boring, naive girl who is all about her family cause yes that is true, but I am also very outgoing, I love to make a fool out of myself because I enjoy making people laugh and I know how to have a good time. I grew up in Glendale, Arizona and I have one older brother.I have a boyfriend and his name is Andrew, I think we are great together!
  I have gone to private Catholic schools my whole life and I am pretty sure I wouldn't know how to act if I were to go to a public school when I was younger. I went to Our Lady of Perpetual Help (Glendale) and I graduated from Saint Mary's Catholic High School (SM) in 2012. My years at SM have helped mold me into the person I am today. It is a very small school so you get to know who everyone is and make lasting friendships, it was a total shock when I cam e to GCC because it was so big. It was hard for me to not know everyone who went to my school. I am attending GCC because I was awarded the Presidential scholarship, which pays for all of my classes. I never thought I would be here on an academic scholarship, I thought I would be here because of athletics but, now I know that this is were I am suppose to be in life. I want to get my doctorate in Psychology and become a therapist for teens. I love helping people with their problems, I find it very therapeutic for myself and the person I am trying to help. I know GCC will help prepare me for a University and that is where I am going to complete my schooling. I love to cook, bake, listen to music and hangout with friends and family. My family and I are very close because all of the struggles that we have overcome and I can't imagine life without them. Well, that's me, for now. Peace, Love, and Happiness readers.
