The Kuilei Outreach Program Team is Alfie and Sheldon (me). When we are out in the community, it is quite common to hear folks say "I am not college ready" or "I don't think college is for me." What they don't realize is EVERYONE has what it takes to be successful.
In this episode we have Jim Gabriel Vergara, Lunalilo Scholar and Farrington HS graduate who is about to complete his Associate Degrees...yes, TWO DEGREES, in Hospitality & Tourism. Listen to how this young man navigated through adversity and managed to work, attend school full-time, and do community service, while being an extremely successful student.
Hear how his words of wisdom of "being comfortable with the uncomfortable" paved the way for his growth as a person, student, and a professional.
