A 17-year-old high school student leans against the wall on a chair. She feels trapped and anxious, ridden with a fear of making mistakes, so much so that she stops herself from embracing her full potential. “Due to how they [her parents] acted in the past, I feel like I’m never gonna get anywhere in life,” she expresses.

A green sea turtle resting on North Shore beach with other visitors. These turtles are the most common type of honu, and often rest on beach shores to conserve energy and increase their body temperature. Green sea turtles were considered critically endangered at one point as a result of factors such as coastal development, pollution runoff, and ocean plastic (which still are very big problems for marine life). While the green sea turtle population has seen improvement, the hawksbill turtle population is one of the species in Hawai’i that remains endangered.

High school students in the U.S. spend more time on homework. According to the U.S. News & World Report in 2014, “High school students get assigned up to 17.5 hours of homework per week, according to a survey of 1,000 teachers.” Many teachers feel it is necessary to assign their students homework to help them learn by figuring out problems and spending time absorbing the material. However, according to U.S. News, in countries like Finland, students are assigned “only about three hours of homework a week.” Even then, in 2012, Finnish students scored the sixth highest in the world in reading and 12th highest in math on a standardized test known as the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA).
