Aloha. I just want to thank the donors of Kamehameha Schools Class of 1975 Scholarship for giving me the opportunity to continue my post-secondary education. I can't express in enough words how thankful I am. This award will help me in more ways than words can describe. It has allowed me the gracious opportunity to continue my post -secondary education by alleviating the financial burden that often is associated with college. Giving the chance to continue down the path of computer science and biology, in the hopes of becoming a computational biologist is the best gift I could ever receive. In light of this opportunity, I want to be able to come back to Hawai'i and focus on biotech to help the place that I call home. This award motivates me to help other Hawai'i students and gives me a sense of purpose. During this upcoming school year, I plan to give a voice to other women in tech/STEM and plan to make it on the dean's list for this semester. I am hoping to share the generosity that was bestowed upon me and be able to help the next generation of students!Aloha Pu'uwai Hau Kila Scholarship donors,
