FROM PAGE 1
He shifted gears and re- ceived his doctorate’s de- gree in chiropractic from University of Western States in Oregon. He and his family returned to Hawai‘i in May 2012 and, a year later, he started his own practice, Ha- wai‘i Elite Chiropractic, in ‘Aiea.

Dear Hearts,
Don’t let success change who you are.
You weren’t raised on champagne and caviar.
Remember the struggle and who helped you in your past.
And do the same to help other people’s goals be grasped.
Sincerely,
Bryce “Saimin Jr.”
