Personal Statement:
In the semester Spring 2011,
I was able to pay for a childcare provider because of the grant aid that is
provided by the Trio committee. This is one of the major factors that students
here at Windward have trouble with because, the extra help we need with our
keiki is sometimes never there. As a first generation college student, a parent
of three young children and leaving the
the Taper’s Union in pursuit of other aims of finding another
well-paying job, time has become less expendable; finding time to give attention to my kids and
working on school has involved a significant amount of sacrifice, which hit me
pretty hard. Without the help of the Trio SSS staff and facility, I would not
have made it this far. With all the benefits that I received from the Trio
staff and committee, that include FREE PRINTING!, FREE TUTORING!, FREE
MENTORING!, FREE SNACKS!!, and the eligibility to receive free grant aid every
semester I have attended here, all of these free opportunities has made it all
worthwhile.
