Wow! Today marks the 1-Year anniversary of Legacy Voyage!

Let's rewind a bit and dive into the rollercoaster that was my college application experience. I remember the stress like it was yesterday, but little did I know that one unexpected acceptance letter from Northwestern University would completely alter the course of my life.

Being the only Polynesian at my college was no walk in the park. Loneliness crept in, and it took a toll on my mental health. But you know what they say, tough times shape us. I learned to navigate these challenges, and it was during this journey that I stumbled upon some incredible books that truly transformed my perspective on success and value.
