I have made so many wonderful memories here, shared so many laughed, shed many tears. Thank you to the people who have made my time here truly wonderful.
I would like to take a moment to thank everyone who has supported me on my journey as this chapter of my life closes. While my journey is not over, I would have never gotten this far without the continued support of family, friends, classmates, professors, advisors, etc. I am forever appreciative and grateful for the lessons learned and time spent here.
This is not the end!
Mahalo Nui Loa for the continued love and support!
Throughout my college experience, I experienced hardships I never thought I would face and lows that felt too difficult to conquer. I continued forward and no matter how many times I fell, I always got back up and tried again. There's only one direction you can go from falling down, it's up. Continue to dream big and strive for excellence. When you finally make it, it'll be better than words can describe.
