Doreen Kaolulo's TRiO SSS Success Story



Aloha, my name is Doreen L. Kaolulo.  I am currently attending Windward Community College since Fall 2011.  When I registered for school, I was coming back not knowing what to expect.  I felt like I was going to walk this path of my school life alone.  But my first day here I saw people that I knew, (family that I never knew came here) and the first thing that came out of there mouth was "eh tita, come sign up for TRIO!"  Ever since that day I have been forever grateful.  I no longer have the fear of failing because of TRIO SSS.  I personally feel that without the help of TRIO I wouldn't have been able to still continue my journey of success.

   The benefits of being part of TRIO SSS are outrageously wonderful. They have free printing, use of computers, tutoring, lunch, snacks, and supplies.  Also, Roy and Pu'u are ALWAYS keeping all us, the members updated with what  is going on through email or face to face.  The environment of TRIO is just like home.  I have used practically everything TRIO has to offer, like the free tutoring, snacks, free lunch, and advising.  The tutoring has helped me succeed especially in the hardcore classes like math and English.  Because of TRIO SSS I can graduate with my AA in the Spring of 2014.

    So I humbly ask that there be no budget cuts.  I know there will be people like me who will walk in the fear of coming to college and failing, but if TRIO is still here to offers all these great things then those people will be able to succeed just like me.
