I am ready to go home. Upward Bound is almost over and I can't wait to just pack up and leave. I mean, Upward Bound is a great program and you get to meet lots of great people, but sometimes, enough is enough. There are about 150 people from across New England and seeing the same people over and over for a month and a half is quite enough. I got to do a lot of cool things this cummer though. i went rock climbing, camping, shopping, and I even snuck out to L.L Bean at 1:30 in the morning one weekend. I haven't really decided whether or not I want to come back next summer. I would have to turn in all of my college aps by a certain deadline, write a proposal for the program and attend an interview set up by the program. It would be a lot of work, but I guess that it would be worth it if it could mean helping me get into a good college.
I met a lot of interesting people this summer. Rene Johnson is one of the most awesomest girls that I have ever met in my entire life. She had been through so much and has a lot of good insight on life. She doesn't let anything bring her down. She is totally awesome. She is from Portland, ME, and she is definatley someone who I would love to keep in touch with.
Courtney Smith was also a very awesome person that I met this summer. Although things didn't work out between us the way that I had hoped, I cherished every moment that was spent with her. She made me realize the importance of being honest and just plain faithful. I didn't realize the extent of other people's feelings until I did something to hurt them. I know now to take feelings into consideration before acting upon my first instinct. I will miss the time that we spent together.
Another person who I absolutely loved to spend my time with this summer was Chris Whyland. He totally made my summer. If it wasn't for him I would definatley have gone home a long time ago. I've never met a guy who I have felt so comfortable around. He was my inspiration and my best friend. Words can't describe the emotion I felt when I was with him. I probably couldn't forget him if I tried. I truly hope that he doesn't forget me as well.
Try as I may, I can't say that I didn't enjoy Upward Bound. The experience opened up my eyes and gave me a lot of life lessons. Don't procrasinate, be yourself, and above all, live each experience to the fullest.
