Where Are They Now? Dragons on the move and doing GREAT things after high school

Picture
Hello everyone! I am Sharlene Bala and I graduated from Honoka'a High School in 2015. I am a sophomore at the University of Hawaii at Hilo. I am currently double majoring in Pre-Nursing and Healthcare Administration and Management. This school year, I will be applying to the University of Hawaii at Hilo's School of Nursing and will be pursing a Bachelor's in the Science of Nursing. As a large part of my college career, I am part of the Dorrance Scholarship Program which has allowed me to embark on many adventures thus far in college. Due to this program, I have had the opportunity to travel to Northern Arizona University for a summer as well as engage in conservation efforts here on the Big Island. From hiking the Grand Canyon, to snorkeling the reefs of Miloli'i, so far, I have had a very enriching college experience because of this scholarship program. I look forward to continuing this incredible journey and as I do so, I'll always keep that Dragon Pride.
