Then three days later I get news of a very special

Then three days later I get news of a very special student taking the same journey to heaven at the age of 13. He started with Quick Stars when he was four-years-old.

No better words can be expressed than the words from his mom. In the midst of everything, she replied to my text: “Aidan was such a great kid. Amazing and extraordinary and such a great example of how to live life even before the cancer. He always savored the desserts he ate, loved doing things on our days off and always saw the good and positive. So remarkable for a 13 yr old. He was the strongest and bravest person I know and never complained or got scared even till the very end. I am so grateful that I got to be his mom...”

And so the tears come. For grandma and for Aidan. But tears of gratefulness for the connection I had with them. Tears of joy for their lives. And tears of hope. I have nothing but mad respect for you, Sherilyn and Terrance. When I am feeling weak, I will think of you, and be strong.

Gramma, meet Aidan. You guys goin’ have good fun together up there...

Not all lessons are learned in the classroom or at

Not all lessons are learned in the classroom or at tutoring...

Instead of weeping and begging her not to leave, in those final breaths, we all sat by her side enthusiastically clapping and cheering for her to finally take that journey to heaven. Then we lit fireworks!

In bittersweet moments like these, we learn true life lessons. Forgive when you don’t want to. Follow examples of strength. Love them at their worst. Love them like you’re gonna lose them. Life is just a full circle.

As just a pre-teen, she had to quit school to care for her 6 younger siblings when her mom passed away. When she was only 44, her husband passed, but she raised up five successful children. In her 90s, she traveled to San Diego, went horseback riding, played Hanafuda cards daily, snuck off to ride the train at Windward Mall and even went parasailing!

Family knew she was feisty, laugh-out-loud, side-pain hilarious, and the epitome of strength for us all.

Her name is Esperanza, meaning hope. And may hope be with us always. ❤️🙏🎇⭕️

In January 2004, the dream started with a tiny, computer-printed, free ad on the Foodland bulletin board, and I took our first student at Barnes and Nobles in Waikele.

Shortly after, we started operating out of the basement of Aunty’s Waipahu home with just a handful of students.

In 2006, we moved to a 100 square foot bedroom in Dad’s house in Waipio.

In January 2015, we went commercial with four tutors and about 40 students at the Waipio Shopping Center.

In January 2018, we moved to a three-room, larger unit.

In March 2020, we shut down due to COVID, but adapted to distance-learning.

This January 2021, we celebrate 17 years, with over 140 incredible students and 14 amazing tutors, offering both distance and in-person tutoring.

With much room and vision for growth, Quick Stars is now proud to be the largest and highest-rated tutoring center in Hawai’i. Nothing came without a struggle. We are real and know you are too! That’s what makes this work.

We are beyond grateful for every person who has been part of this journey! Thank you so much for supporting local business.

We look forward to expanding, but will never forget our humble beginnings. We are here to teach, serve, motivate, and bless. We are just getting started.

And the best is yet to come!
