My name is Kainoa Nunez, but everyone calls me "Kai" for short. My major is journalism. I am here because it is better to get all of my G.E. done here at a community college rather than at a university, so when I'm at the University all I have to focus are my classes for my major and hopefully graduate with a bachelor's degree and pursue my passion for sports journalism & broadcast.
