Thayleah Hall
Thayleah Hall is a Junior at Island Pacific Academy where she is a member of their Division III Varsity Championship team and a member of the National Honor Society. She has been honored as an All-Star Division III First Team Player from 2022 through 2024. She seeks to attend college on a volleyball scholarship. Her goal is to obtain a degree and to pursue a career in pediatric medicine. Thayleah was inspired to select these goals by her grandmother “Nana” who served as a nurse for 45 years. “Nana” showed Thayleah that treating people with kindness will bring happiness and joy to those around you and that one simple act of kindness can change a person’s situation or attitude in a positive way.
​
Thayleah’s S.E.R.V.E. Initiative is “Grow with Kindness.” She wants to promote the benefits of being kind to others which can create an environment where students thrive academically, emotionally and socially, leading to greater success in life. She has presented her initiative to hundreds of students to date, and she plans to expand my program across Hawaii.
​
Thayleah has been serving her community in various capacities as a volunteer since the age of seven and this experience has taught her that little hands can make a big difference. She has also practiced the art of hula for ten years and is a third-year Hawaiian language student. She is the founder and sole coordinator of “Grow with Kindness” initiative and the founder and President of Leis of Aloha.
