Remone Durr's TRiO SSS Success Story


If you’re looking for a program full of people who are welcoming, caring, supporting, and holds a firm reputation for helping you succeed, that program is Trio. But before I can talk about what Trio has done for me I must first start from the beginning.
During my years in high school, I struggled so bad that going to college was never an option. It wasn’t until I joined this program called Upward Bound, that that was when my life began to change. The purpose of Upward Bound was to give me the skills, and motivation that I needed to continue my education in college.  They definitely succeeded at doing that.  

Once I moved to Hawaii I still lacked that motivation that Upward Bound had provided me with. During my first semester at Windward I kept hearing about this Trio program. At first I avoided it because I didn’t think I would fit in. But, still yet that lack of motivation was still there.

Eventually I joined Trio not knowing that Trio was affiliated with Upward Bound.  Long story short, Trio gave me that motivation that I needed as well as the necessary tools that helped me get through my courses.  As I write this letter I am a few weeks away from graduating with my AA degree and moving on to obtain my bachelor’s degree at UH West Oahu.

I want to give Trio and its affiliated partners a special thank you for your effort to support students like myself. You have played a huge part in my life, and that will go unforgotten.

Sincerely 
Remone Durr

UPDATE as of Spring 2016 

Ramone graduated with his AA in Liberal Arts at the end of the Spring 2013 semester.

  1. Woah! I'm really enjoying the template/theme of this site. It's
    simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's very hard to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and appearance. I must say you have done a amazing job with this. Additionally, the blog loads very quick for me on Internet explorer. Exceptional Blog!
