    The language being taught is what captures me in the story. Its the way it sounds...so calm and so deep. The Samoan language is like a language of love...always so deep and attentive...kind and gracious! God bless you Hakai and your loving caregivers and Mom❤ Alofas

    Working with special needs myself this is heart warming. His caregiver nailed it. If you don't have the passion for special needs you won't last long working with them.

    This is a true conversation of how this lady was sharing her sons life. I really agree 100% for caregiver or PCA that has true love during their job. Some, they only show there love when their boss around but, when he/she is not around they are like abusing them w/out any love, they only show how many experience they have, but y hire if they are not truly loved their clients, Yes, they want only green thats all.

    Is a tradition of the samoan people when they dance they have to scream? And why do they make noise so loud.

      Amanda Tualevao it's called the Fa umu a crie of happines yelling to the most high God thanking him for are blessing.. we yell hard n loud so he knows we are thankful n it's also can be used to declare war depending on the occasion.

      It's also showing joy and appreciation. It doesn't only happen when we dance it happens during formalities. If you don't do it it's actually impolite.

      take away the nervous and yes its tradition but not too much louder...if you are louder enough that means you are such a showoff lol
