Even as a kid growing up in LA, Julian loved wildlife and knew it was a passion he wanted to spend his life pursuing. He found a great marine biology program at @UniversityofHawaii but ran into academic challenges. Discouraged but not defeated, Jules designed his own major and put himself on the path to an exciting career as a rescue diver (this guy saves injured sea creatures, y'all!), scientist and educator at the @marinemammalcare. Always quick with an aquatic pun, Jules even creates the comics for the science education venture he launched,@julesofthesea2021.
Julian's story is a reminder that even if you do the research and find a school or program that is a good fit for you, there are always going to be challenges -- stay the course in pursuing what you're passionate about, and remember it never hurts to take advantage of resources that may help you navigate college academics, finances or culture.
If you're a current student looking for resources to help you thrive in your program or the working world -- or if you're still looking for that right-fit college, check out:

The Point of Becoming You is a video series where we share short portraits of real people who have made education work for them in unique and inspiring ways as they chase their dreams.
After taking control of his own education, Julian now pays it forward. Check out his comics and other educational multimedia:
