Pare-pareho ang nakamit na tagumpay ng triplets na sina Maile, Ke’ale, at Makana Young. Sila ay 22 anyos.
Silang tatlo ay pawang magtatapos bilang summa cum laude sa San Diego State University, ayon sa mga U.S. news platforms.
Silang tatlo ay nagtapos din sa parehong kurso: Bachelor of Science in Integrated Marketing and Communications minor in Interdisciplinary Studies.
“As much as a shared journey as it’s been, it’s also been a very individual journey,” ani Makana sa interview ng NBC 7, May 15, 2025.
Dagdag niya, “The fact that we finally get to walk across the stage all together is incredibly meaningful.”

TRIPLETS ON COMPETITION, MOTIVATION
Nakasaad sa joint statement nila sa website ng People magazine, lumaki at nag-aral silang tatlong magkakasama, kaya support system nila ang isa’t isa.
Mayroon daw silang healthy competition.
At dahil nasa iisang classroom, hindi maiwasan ang pagkakaroon ng pagkukumpara, na kalaunan ay ginawa nilang motivation.
“One of the greatest advantages we've had is always having a built-in study buddy: someone to challenge us, hold us accountable, and encourage us to be our best selves, both in and out of the classroom."
Kapag may bagong achievement ang isa sa kanila, nai-inspire ang dalawa.
Ang nasa isip kasi nila, kung nagawa ng isa, kayang gawin din ng dalawa.
"In that way, our individual successes have always been shared victories, reminders that we’re stronger because we’ve grown together!"

TRIPLETS' SEPARATED THEN REUNITED
Nagkahiwa-hiwalay lamang daw ang magkakapatid noong first semester sa kolehiyo dahil sa iba’t ibang bansa sila pumasok.
“I went to Rome [Italy], Keala went to Florence [Italy], and Maile went to London [U.K.],” ani Makana sa NBC 7.
“Studying abroad was more than just an academic or cultural experience for us. It was the first time in our life that we [were] truly on our own,” sabi nila sa joint statement sa People.
Buong buhay raw kasi ay magkakasama sila: pare-pareho ang mga nilalaro at pare-pareho ang mga kaibigan.
“Being abroad forced us to make decisions independently and navigate challenges without each other.”
Pero in the end, sa iisang unibersidad sila magtatapos, iisa ang kurso, at pare-pareho ang honors.
Kahapon, Lunes, May 19, 2025, nag-post si Maile ng ilang larawan na kuha mula sa kanilang graduation.
Ang pambihira pa rito, ang tatlo ay magtatrabaho sa iisang kumpanya.
Sila ay mga social-media specialists sa isang digital marketing agency.
Ani Maile sa NBC 7, “So, essentially, it’s advertising on social-media platforms like TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest…”
Ang kanilang employer ay located sa Oakland, California, na siya ring hometown ng triplets.
