Seventeen-year-old Kaulani Gomez lives in Kingsbridge, Bronx and was born on January 2, which makes her a Capricorn. Kaulani was named after one of the Hawaiian Islands. When asked how or why that happened she admits, âÂÂMy family has a weird tradition of picking names off the map. My sister is named after a city in Mexico.â KaulaniâÂÂs favorite hobbies are reading, writing and walking. She enjoys reading fiction; the latest novel sheâÂÂs read is Room for Love, by Andrea Meyer. She enjoys writing poetry, mainly about life, and short stories. She also enjoys sightseeing when walking through the city
 Kaulani attends the High School of Fashion Industries. Kaulani seems to enjoy her school. âÂÂMy school is fun and very diverse,â She says. Even though she likes her school she realizes that getting a job in the fashion industry may be difficult. This realization came in her sophomore year when she was given a choice of electives between art and computer graphics. âÂÂWhen I tried art I realized I couldnâÂÂt draw and I wasnâÂÂt all that good at computer graphics, but I can construct.”
      Kaulani doesnâÂÂt have a specific preference when it comes to music. She listens to everything from hip-hop and rock to classic Hispanic music like meringue or salsa. KaulaniâÂÂs favorite seasons are summer and spring because she really enjoys sunny days.
