In Samoa, a person is very quiet in public and not boisterous as we often are here in the U.S. As a result, Silila may be considered by some as shy or conceited. Those who know him know this is far from the truth. ( He enjoys life but is not overly outgoing. He does have friends and they mean a lot to him. He is anxious to return to his homeland of Samoa, but plans to return to the states after his mission and attend college. He has not decided on a profession, but leans toward business or. teaching.
