Dalton SmithDalton Smith was born in New Orleans and moved to O'ahu before starting high school. The first-year KCC student (undeclared Liberal Arts) was encouraged to pursue a college degree by his family and work colleagues. Though he has not declared a specialization just yet, he particularly enjoyed the world history class he took this past fall semester. Dalton has been taking a wide breadth of courses—ranging from math to english—that will help him channel his interests to a specific major at KCC and beyond. He'd like to eventually transfer to UH Manoa after receiving his associate's degree from KCC. After school-related responsibilities are met, you'll likely find Dalton in the ocean surfing, hanging out with friends, or hiking many of the trails that O'ahu has to offer.
