Anatomy
of a Student
The Voice of Baker

Lela Hautau's favorite campus activity is her involvement with the chapel worship team each week where
she is able to share her faith and her Tongan heritage
with her community. (Tonga is a Polynesian kingdom in the South Pacific.) A familiar voice around
campus, Lela has shared her talents at Commencement, Baccalaureate, Wildcat Welcome Traditions Night (teaching new Wildcats the Alma
Mater), basketball games, and events at
Collins House. "I am forever grateful to
Baker for helping me find my passion
and love for singing and music."

To Teach a Teacher
Lela, a junior, is a double major in

secondary education and English. As
a first-generation Tongan-American who
learned English as a second language, she
has a soft spot for all the English teachers
who pushed her to be a better, more confident
student. "I cannot wait to be in a classroom as an
English teacher one day so I can tell my students
that if I can do it, they can do it, too."

Following Her Dreams
Lela hopes her BU experiences will set an

example for Tongan youth and inspire them
to reach for a college education. She plans to

eventually earn a master's degree in education
administration so she can achieve her dream: to
be one of the first Tongan-American principals in
the United States. "More than anything, I want to
make a positive difference for the generations to
come, and I feel like the best place I can do that is
in the educational setting."
