I stepped foot onto the island and everyone crowded around me and celebrated! I had no idea what was going on. I remember my mom telling me something about the people on this island very spiritual as I left home. They were dancing and singing and then everyone stopped and formed two lines on either side of me.
After that, I saw my grandma and some muscular man walk down the middle of the rows towards me. I was wondering if I should walk to them or just stay out, so I stayed put. They finished walking then bowed down to me, and everyone followed their lead. The man began to speak in a language I didn't know, but it seemed familiar anyways. He got up with my grandma and began to speak English.
"Welcome to Ulu, Akela! We hope you are happy here!"
