Commencement speaker overcomes challenges to succeed

"Picked to speak at the 2010 Olympic College commencement ceremony, Tara Marie Wilson is excited about the opportunity to inspire her fellow graduates.

Wilson was born Jan. 11, 1977 in Bremerton. She has lived in Bremerton her entire life and has little experience visiting other places with the exception of California and South Dakota. She attended Olympic High School and transferred to Central Kitsap Alternative High School before eventually obtaining a General Education Diploma."
