I never imagined I would come this far. There were moments when giving up felt easier, but I kept going and overcame every obstacle. Each challenge taught me something valuable and helped me grow stronger. Receiving this diploma proves that dreams are not out of reach—they are built through persistence and belief. This is not the end, but the beginning of a new chapter.
Dermarious K-Mar Hardy, Cybersecurity major, talks to us about the challenges of being a student while being in the military, and how Coastline College is uniquely positioned to help students meet these challenges.
