Today's youth are doing amazing things at such a young age.  As for the Kuilei Outreach Program that manages the College's Dual Credit Program, we LOVE IT when we see students move forward with PURPOSE.  Back in May of 2018, Kapi‘olani Community College had our first with one of our graduates, Maximillian Soares Miehlstein, walked with not only his Associate in Arts in Deaf Studies but with his high school diploma as well!  In May of 2021, we will have Jace Takeshi Kapomaikaʻipauole Ogata who will be graduating with his Associate in Arts in Psychology at Kapi‘olani Community College along with his high school diploma from Kalani HS.  Amazing!  In this episode, we talk story with both Jace and his mom, Dr. Vern Ogata, to learn more about his growth, resiliency, perseverance, and plans for the future.  Please listen to this extremely Courageous Conversation.  Enjoy!
