Ohana, the Story of Elija Lagafuaina

“I was a little troublemaker growing up. I was raised right but I always had the urge to rebel, especially against the rules. Because of that I was always getting in trouble at school” - Elijah Lagafuaina. Elijah always had a passion and talent for football. He saw it as an outlet.

Throughout our lives we are forced to adapt to new surroundings and new environments. A change of scenery can either help us or hurt us. Finding people that support you and help you is the key ingredient to transition and success. Elijah started out as a troubled youth who enjoyed hitting people, on the football field of course. This is Ohana, the story of Elijah Lagafuaina, by Natali Martin and Kyle Hewitt.
