My Experience

    [ Home ] [ Up ]

    This summer I went to the College of Charleston in Charleston, South Carolina.  I am enrolled in a program called Upward Bound that allows high school students the opportunity to experience college life.  During the summer component of this program, many other students from all different counties were given the chance to stay in college dorms for six weeks and undergo all responsibilities that came with being a college student.

    I took many of different courses offered and participated in many cultural events.  I will name a few of the places I've visited and things I have been involved in.  I have also visited other universities as a part of this program.
