“I’m back performing again, loving teaching at Seabury, loving where I’m at,” he says. This is the happy ending of this chapter of Kamalei’s story. And it’s the story of a young man whose entire educational life was adversely affected by an elementary school teacher who told him he was “stupid” and destined to fail.

“I would just like to encourage our Native Hawaiians to learn about our culture and be proud of it,” says Kamalei. “It’s never too late to start. Don’t be ashamed you didn’t start at a young age. We need you folks to do it.”

Now take another look at that flourishing young man on the cover. If it’s your time, get the ball rolling by calling the Educational Opportunity Center (EOC) at 808-984-3286 and tell them you want to attend college. One of our EOC team members will get you started. The Educational Opportunity Center (EOC) is a federally-funded TRiO grant that offers free services to eligible students that are seeking post-secondary education and/or career exploration. It’s located in the Ho‘okipa building on our Kahului campus.
