I'm truly upset to the point of tears!
I found out that the Upward Bound Trio Program will no longer be funded for the next 5 years.
For those of you who don't know, Upward Bound is an AMAZING program that helps kids get into college. Kids who don't have a chance to get into college. Upward Bound also helps kids make it through high school and offer free tutors! It's a Program that works!
If it wasn't for Upward Bound I wouldn't even be in College. Hell, I wouldn't have my CNA license if it wasn't for Upward Bounds help. Upward Bound has helped me grow up to become a better person and give me the motivation and tools to better my future.
The government always say that they are for EDUCATION. Well if they are FOR education then why are they getting rid of a program that WORKS!Â
