The Upward Bound Program has been nothing but a blessing to me.  This program has kept me motivated through high school to college transition.  All the campus tours, college seminars and fairs, and motivational speakers have kept my determination to attend college high.  The summer sessions have also prepared me for college life.  Staying on campus gave me a glimpse of the responsibility that I would face while in college.

The program must continue for future students with great potential.  Inspiring them to further their education should be a priority for this country.
