Tell us about yourself. I was born and raised in Papakōlea. I started working right out of high school moving from job to job. I finally realized my passion is to grasp a career in the Information Technology field. I decided to put myself back into school and it was the best decision I have ever made! From stepping foot on campus, working with Administration, to meeting Greg in the Hawaiian Center. The faculty and staff of HonCC made my pathway to college smooth and painless. What are your future plans? My future plans are to transfer to UH West Oʻahu to earn my Bachelor's Degree. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Possibly landing a career with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Poʻi Nā Nalu gave me an opportunity to visit NOAA and I really enjoyed the staff and touring the building at Ford Island. How has Poʻi Nā Nalu helped you through your academic journey at HonCC? From the day I met with Greg, I knew that I was in great hands. Greg and Poʻi Nā Nalu hired me to work while I attended classes, filled me with culture and various career opportunities statewide, providing the necessary tools needed to succeed in college, and most of all giving us the the sense of hope to never give up no matter how tough the situation gets. I would like to thank Greg, Aunty Kathy, Noʻi and the Student Support staff for being there for me, recognizing my accomplishments, and for the overall support throughout my time at HonCC. |

Poʻi Nā Nalu Alumni Spotlight |
|
|
Keoni ("Oni") Kahoʻokele Graduation: Spring 2016 - AA in Hawaiian Studies | Spring 2017 - AS in Natural Science |
|
|
Who are you? How did you enroll in HonCC and in your major? My name is Oni Kahoʻokele. I was once a tutor/Peer Mentor at Poʻi Nā Nalu. I first enrolled into HonCC right after high school. I wanted to major in the Electrical Installation and Maintenance program but due to high demand, I was unable to. Uncertain about a back up, I took the Liberal Arts route. I was very uncertain about what I wanted to do in life. I was still kind of a kid and all of this school stuff was new to me. Both of my parents do not have college degrees and live paycheck to paycheck. After the first semester of college, I was pulled into Kahale Saito's office and walked out with a new direction in life, Electrical Engineering. Where are you currently working or going to school? Life right now is good. Though it has been a windy road, I am happy with where I am at and believe that this is where I am meant to be. In 2016, Poʻi Nā Nalu helped me to get an internship with the Kahuku Wind Farm through the PIPES program. After graduating that semester, the wind farm offered me a Technician position where I stayed until this past summer. I started off as a shop boy and soon found myself as the Interim Manager. The journey was like no other. I've met a lot of people, made a lot of great friends, and made a few foes. Working there taught me that Hawaiians in this field are very important and thus, I'm currently back in school and enrolled full time at UH Mānoa trying to finish my Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering. How has Poʻi Nā Nalu helped you? Poʻi Nā Nalu was a place where I could come and get motivation to continue on with school. They helped with books, tutoring, free summer classes, basically anything I needed to succeed. They helped me get three Associate's degrees (Liberal Arts, Hawaiian Studies and ASNS - Pre-Engineering). What was your most memorable experience with Poʻi Nā Nalu? I used to love Mālama ʻĀina Days. After banging my head against the walls for weeks, it was nice to get out of the books and get my hands in some dirt. It's always a good thing to "recharge" your Hawaiian batteries after draining them for so long. My absolute memorable experience was going to Big Island for our Kau Wela summer excursion. I learned a whole bunch about UH Hilo but even more so about Big Island in general. What words of advice do you have for current Poʻi Nā Nalu students? Everyone's journey is different. Life has a mysterious way of working. My biggest advice is to make sure you know what you're dedicating your life to before you end up wasting time and always FINISH the journey. In my early college career, I could have shaved off about a year or so of college courses if I had declared Engineering as my major in the very beginning. But I was very doubtful and curious to see how life would be if I wasn't in school. Fortunately for me, I got a taste of that first hand. I was at the wind farm making fairly good money but I just had this bug in me that I knew I needed to finish my Bachelor's degree. You can truly see the separation between a high school diploma and a college degree in the workforce. The grass isn't always greener on the other side. Anything else you would like to share? I'd like to thank the Poʻi Nā Nalu staff and all of the staff of Hulili Ke Kukui. Over the summer, I had a daughter (my biggest motivation). As a father, I understand the phrase "It takes a village to raise a child". If it wasn't for this program, I would not be where I am today. |
