Dominique Almeida Major: Early Childhood Education |
|
|
Tell us about yourself. My name is Dominique and I am from Kapolei. My major is Early Childhood Education for Preschool. My career goal is to one day have a day care center for preschool-aged children of my own. What are your future plans? My future plans are to graduate from HonCC in Spring 2021 and transfer back to UH West Oʻahu after. There, I will finish and graduate with my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education, hopefully within the next two years. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? In 10 years I hope to see myself happy and with a family of my own. I would ideally want to have my day care center up and running. I plan on living in Hawaii for the rest of my life because it is where my family is and is where I would want to raise my own family. How has Poʻi Nā Nalu helped you through your academic journey at HonCC? Poʻi Nā Nalu has helped my academic journey at HonCC. They have helped me save money when it came to textbooks. Not having to buy $100+ worth of textbooks was really nice. They also helped with a paid internship. I thought that this was really cool, and a good perk. It felt good knowing I was being supported and helped by a big group of people. |

Jo Ann Tuifanu Graduation: Fall 2016 - AA in Liberal Arts |
|
|
Who are you? How did you enroll in HonCC and in your major? Aloha, my name is Jo Ann Tuifanu. I am a graduate of Honolulu Community College and a former participant of Po'i Nā Nalu. I grew up in the Kapālama area in public housing. In my early years of life, going to college was not something talked about as much as playing sports. I enrolled at Honolulu Community College as a first-generation, low-income, non-traditional college student (I’d been out of school for more than ten years). I was at a point in my life where I was ready for a lifestyle change, so I decided to go to college. At first, I did not know what I was getting myself into or if going to college was meant for me. I yearned for something different, a new life, and new experiences. I went to see an academic advisor who mentioned that it was okay not to know at the time what I was going to school for or what major to pursue. I remember the academic advisor saying I could declare my major in Liberal Arts, take a few classes, and go from there. That helped me keep an open mind and explore my options of what I wanted to do after college. My first year of attending Honolulu Community College was a trial and error. Coming back to school was foreign to me. I did not know anyone on campus and was unaware of the college culture or how to advocate for myself. I ended my first semester on academic probation. I was not sure if I could get my grades up until I was introduced to student support services, such as Po'i Nā Nalu. I began to get the support I needed to successfully get off academic probation. By the second semester, I utilized tutors, attended workshops, and got involved on campus and off-campus through mālama ʻāina days. Slowly I began to find a sense of belonging, a connection, and started advocating for myself. Asking for help became more comfortable and natural each time. I received help through tutors with math and reading assignments. Attending many different workshops helped me to incorporate the skills needed to become a successful college student. Through this experience, I gained the support and encouragement to continue with my academic journey. After graduating from Honolulu Community College with my Associates in Liberal Arts, I transferred to the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa. I applied to the Myron B. Thompson School of Social Work. I completed my Bachelor's degree in Social Work in Spring 2019 and obtained my Master's in Social Work in Spring 2020. If someone had told me five years ago that I would have my Bachelor's degree, Master's degree, and even an Associates' degree, I would not have believed them. I am grateful for the staff and all the support that motivated me to continue my academic endeavors (feedback, check-ins, reference letters, to name a few). Where are you currently working or going to school? I have so much gratitude for where I am today. I am currently an Education Specialist at TRIO Student Support Services here at Honolulu Community College. I get to provide academic support to participants who are either first-generation, low-income, or have documented disabilities just like I was. Our program offers support through coaching, tutoring, LifeSkill workshops, cultural events, and other services. I'm not sure where my career path will take me; however, I will continue to do the next best thing and allow the future to unfold. What was your most memorable experience with Poʻi Nā Nalu? Po'i Nā Nalu has influenced my decisions of where I am now by aspiring me to give back to our community here at Honolulu Community College. I have a lot of memorable experiences with Po'i Nā Nalu. The most memorable experience would be with my internship coordinated with Po'i Nā Nalu, Hui Kāpehe, and ALU LIKE. I got to experience going to the isolated island of Kahoʻolawe. It was a culturally affiliated experience where I learned about Kahoʻolawe's history and the kanaka that risked their lives to stop the military from bombing the island. On Kahoʻolawe, I felt spiritually connected, gained a new identity as a kanaka maoli, and a sense of place within my community. What words of advice do you have for current Poʻi Nā Nalu students? A bit of advice from my experience, get connected with student support services here on campus. Utilize all the resources that we have to offer. Statistics show the more you are connected on campus, the more likely you are to succeed. With that said, wishing you all the best in your academic endeavors. Mahalo! |
