Shawn Camacho - Class of 2011
What is your favorite memory at Harvest?
Definitely our senior trip to Macau, and most especially trying the Macau Tower Skywalk. I'd never felt that much adrenaline in my life!What is going on in your life currently?
I have been serving the public at our local PBS Guam TV station for the past three and a half years as a Broadcast Technician. It's been quite a wild ride so far, but I have learned so much about the back-end of broadcast television that it has given me a whole new appreciation for media.Any advice you'd like to give students?
Be open to all opportunities that may come your way, they may pleasantly surprise you. Absorb as much knowledge and wisdom as you can, but also make sure to pay it forward. Remember that someone else's progress likely has no bearing on yours, stay diligent and trust that God will make it happen for you. -
Trixie Naholowaa - Class of 2011
What college or university did you go to and what degree did you receive?
I received my Bachelor in Business Administration with a Concentration in Finance & Economics from the University of Guam.
What is going on in your life currently?
I am an Administrative Assistant for Finance & Administration at the Guam Visitors Bureau.
Have any favorite memories of being at Harvest?
My favorite memory would be my senior year and hosting a Senior Parents Appreciation dinner. We were tasked to handwrite letters and record video messages to thank our parents for giving us the opportunity of sending us to Harvest for our education. My parents really appreciated the gesture and it definitely was a nice way to conclude my senior year after attending Harvest for 15 years of my life (K3-12th grade).
Any advice you'd like to give students or your fellow alumni?
Rejections are not the end of the world, and if something doesn't work out the first time - continue to trust that God has something better planned for your future and there will be something a lot better that may come your way.

One thing that God has been teaching me is to give all your pain and worry to Him. This year has been extremely difficult for everyone, and God is teaching me to rely on Him. He is always with us, even if we don’t feel His presence.

Find a career that you are passionate about! It will help you bring glory to God and doing something you enjoy opens a lot of opportunities. Every college has resources to help you advance your career or find a career to pursue.

Marcus Del Rosario - Class of 2020
Is there anything that you want to share with our student body?
I was reading through Hebrew 12 this week, the author talked about how those that know Christ are called to run the race and endure tough times. It’s easy to become discouraged, but when we look to Christ we can see His example of enduring the cross. He’s not just on the sidelines, but right by our side with us throughout the race. He gives us endurance and we can look to Him for strength and comfort.
