Brenda on the Upward Bound Program:
“Being in the program has benefited me by letting me experience the college life, teaching me
things like time management, note taking, the four systems of higher education, I was able to
visit campuses I probably wouldn't have myself, and I also got to benefit from the SAT prep.
Without that preparation I wouldn't have been ready for the SAT at all. I learned a lot of little
things that helped me out so much.”
Brenda’s Word of Advice:
“Underclassmen, don't ever procrastinate! It is the worst thing you can do. Keep up with dead-
lines! Keep yourself organized, it is the best thing you can do for yourself, nothing will ever
come back and fall apart in front of you if you do keep organized. Always have confidence in
yourself, if you believe in yourself nothing anyone else says will ever bring you down.”
Favorite Quote: "Be who you want to be, not what others want to see...."
