We all have big dreams as a kid, It's up to us to go out there and make it a reality.

Always smiling, even through the trials and tribulations!

AEC isn't a class of students, it's one big Ohana!

This last year of college has been a very unique one, but we kept pushing!

Attending HCC has given me a clear path to success!

I'd like to thank my professors for their time and dedication to their students. The levels of success I have gained through my time here at HCC is a result of great teaching. To all my graduating AEC classmates, I'm so proud of each and every one of you! We have all grown so much and we are all onto a great and bright future. Class of 2021 is a special one, we have gone through a very difficult last year of college. We were once able to spend time with each other in the classroom, but of course we all know we had to switch to distance learning. This had introduced new challenges into our academic careers. However, we have overcome the challenges this brought upon us and we are now at the final destination. Graduation!

I'd like to give the hugest mahalo to my family. They have been there for me since day one and showed me endless support. Whether it was helping me pay for my tuition and books or just being there to hear me talk about my good and bad days in school. Their constant support has driven me to success and made me become a great student and person. More importantly though, I have become a better son and sibling due to their support and our relationships with each other have definitely never been better. To all my friends from elementary and high school, thank you guys for being life long friends and being people that I can depend on at any time. The fact that were all now becoming adults is great. Here's to a new chapter in our lives!

This is officially a wrap on education for the time being. Who knows later down the line I may want to take my education to another level. I'm forever grateful for what HCC has done for me, especially the AEC pathway. They have gave me so much knowledge in the career field, and so much experiences. Thanks to my success in AEC, I was able to find a job that I've been wanting to do for a long time, and at a company that is very well known is Hawaii. I can now add the job title of a CAD Drafter/Detailer to my name. Of course this new stage in my life will bring upon new challenges, but with new challenges will come new opportunities for growth and I'm excited for it.
