The trio shared that studying together fostered a healthy and supportive competitive spirit, which contributed to their success.
“Growing up as triplets, there was always a healthy level of competition among us. Attending the same classes and pursuing similar paths meant we inevitably compared ourselves to one another,” they shared in a joint statement.

All three Young sisters graduated with top honors.
“But over time, this comparison evolved into motivation. One of our greatest advantages was always having a study buddy: someone to challenge us, hold us accountable, and encourage each of us to be the best version of ourselves, both in and out of the classroom.
“Whenever one of us seized a new opportunity or reached a significant milestone, it ignited something in the others: ‘If she can do it, why can’t I?’ In this way, our individual successes were always shared victories, reminding us that we are stronger because we grew up together,” they added.
The sisters also noted that while they chose similar academic paths in college, they consciously decided to study abroad in different countries to experience independent living.
“Studying abroad was not just an academic or cultural experience for us. It was the first time in our lives that we truly lived independently.
“We had gone through everything together growing up. We attended the same school, played the same sport, had the same circle of friends, and had never really lived apart…
“For the first time, we had experiences that were uniquely ours. We formed friendships, made memories, and built a chapter outside of our sisterhood. Being abroad forced us to make decisions independently and navigate challenges without each other,” they shared.

In a recent interview with NBC 7 San Diego, the triplets shared that they felt ready for the next chapter of their lives, whether together or apart.
“If life takes us to different places, which it very well may, I’m totally okay with that. If life continues to keep us together, I’m totally okay with that, too,” Ke’ale told the news channel.
As for the near future? It seems life will keep them together, at least for a while, as all three sisters have been hired as paid social media communicators in their hometown of Oakland, California. So, they will all be moving back to Oakland after graduation.

However, for now, the sisters are just trying to savor their most recent accomplishment.
“It meant so much to finally walk that stage together,” Makana shared with the news channel.
The triplets also expressed their gratitude to San Diego State University by posting thank-you messages on their social media accounts.
