Highline Alum Becomes Sauce King, Millionaire
After attending Highline from 1970 to 1973, Junki Yoshida went on to create Yoshida's Gourmet Sauce, the first product in what would become a multi-million dollar conglomerate. His success is a far cry from his poor upbringing in Kyoto, Japan. In 1968, at age 19, he came to the United States in search of the American Dream. Now a successful businessman, motivational speaker, seventh degree black belt, and humanitarian, he was named Highline's 2003 Distinguished Alumni and was one of six to earn the American Association of Community College's 2004 Outstanding Alumni Award.

Shan Shan "Vicky" Chu, Hong Kong
"Highline is a very diverse school. I have met many
friends from all over the world. Instructors are nice
and patient. This helped me to feel more comfortable
speaking English and I improved a lot. Highline also
changed my life experience. I became more involved in
school events, so now I feel like school is a fun place, not
a place where you only see books in front of your eyes.
I definitely love Highline Community College." |

Dulanjalee Seneviratne, Sri Lanka
"Highline Community College has allowed me to uncover new
aspects about myself. As an international student I
was able to actively participate in extracurricular
activities and to get over the culture shock at the same
time. HCC opened a world of opportunities for me and I
was able to become an International Leadership Student
Council member. I hope that other international
students will discover HCC to be a great starting point for
their education." |

Giselle Nault, Canada "My exceptional experiences here at Highline go well beyond the borders of the campus. This education extends itself into the community, the clinical experiences, as well as the relationships that are built between faculty and peers. It is definitely a complete education."

Asuka Okuno, Japan "Shortly after I started at Highline, I got involved in many campus activities. I participated in almost all the events and activities on campus. As I got to know more people, my campus life became much more fun and valuable than ever before. The International Student Programs (ISP) advisors always made time for me and they were very supportive. My friends were always there for me. Therefore, I felt very happy and comfortable even though I was very far away from home."

Berkay Ozkul, Turkey
"My Highline experience was great! The faculty and advisors take a great interest in students, and they helped me excel both academically and socially. Sometimes it's difficult to adjust to a new country, so it was nice to know there were people I could count on. I earned my Associate of Applied Science degree in Computer Information Systems, and now I'm working in the U.S. on the Optional Practical Training program. The degree gave me the skills necessary to succeed, and the job gives me the opportunity to gain professional experience in the United States.
One important thing I can pass on to future students is the benefit of getting involved on campus. Take the time to join clubs and participate in activities to make friends. Studying at Highline is not only academic, but fun, too!"
