19-year-old Lourdes Killeto was born in Micronesia but was raised in Kalihi. It is her first year at KCC as a Nursing major. She has always wanted to attend here since high school. Commercials for KCC would play on television, catching her attention, and her older brother, who attended HCC, recommended she go to KCC instead of any of the other community colleges on Hawaiʻi.

Lourdes chose nursing because when her grandma passed away she wanted to know what had caused it in order to help people in the future. Her original dream was to work at Kapiʻolani Medical Center for Women and Children, but now she wishes to move back to Micronesia since there is a lack of adequate nursing there. After she graduates, she plans to transfer to UH Mānoa to continue working towards her degree.

Currently, she works as a Pre-Pacifica Peer Mentor above Subway.

Tyler Linmark, or Kyuubi, is a 20 year old Communications major. Having lived in Honolulu his entire life, he plans to transfer to UH once he graduates from KCC. He chose Communications for his major because “It’s the closest major to becoming a YouTuber.”

He has always been interested in anime and Asian culture, and hopes to make video blogging (vlogs) his main focus later on. On his vlogs, he attends anime conventions and discusses various topics at the events. His YouTube channel has been up for several years now.

Kyuubi also enjoys dancing and listening to Kpop music. He currently works as a manager at a restaurant.

Originally from Japan, 20 year old Julian Nakayama has been living in Hawai‘i for two years. The Liberal Arts major moved here because of his interest in marine biology, and according to Julian, Hawai‘i is the ideal place to study that subject.

In comparison to Japan, Julian said, “[Hawaiʻi] is a good place to, like, relax, get a good tan.” He also likes it because, unlike Japan, it is not as cold.

His hobbies are art, photography, and music. He currently volunteers as a front desk greeter for the Iliahi study center above Subway.

    Stefan Cranston is a 20-year-old biology major at KCC. Cranston is a sophomore who's a native of Honolulu. His main goals are to transfer into UH Mānoa's medical school to obtain a Bachelor's of Science in Biology and to become a future doctor. "I've always had a profound interest in biology since I was a kid," Cranston said. "I allow my fascination for life to move me forward. Biology to me is really easy, and I find it more interesting than something complex like physics. I really want to get into the medicine field after I'm finished with KCC." Cranston is currently working towards both an associates degree in Natural Sciences and an associates degree in Liberal Arts at KCC. He is doing this to save money on classes and to complete as many as possible before he transfers to UH Mānoa.  "My favorite part of biology is that it gives us a description of everything living and the meaning behind it," Cranston said. "Biology relates to people since we're living creatures too and I like to understand the meaning about everything that we do." Cranston offers important advice for people who are interested in the biological or medical fields. His advice stems from his passion for the subject as a whole.  "If you want to be involved with biology, do it because you love it, not because you want a lot of money," Cranston said. "Money matters a little bit, but your passion for biology should be the most important part of your studies and work."
