College Visits

·         What I enjoyed most about the college visits was getting to participate and meet new students from the colleges, and having a fun and educational time.

 

·         The best memory I had with Berea College was talking to them about getting into and going to college.  Also, we talked about college life.  The best memory I had with Ole Miss was meeting old friends.  The most remember able time I had with UNC was having the Health and Self camp and talking and meeting new friends.

 

 

·            I know we should do this again next year because we learned  how to make good decisions in the real world and it was a lot of FUN!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

College Month Commentary

What I enjoyed the most about the college visits is that we had fun and we had the opportunity to talk to the students about what it is like to be in college and to be encouraged to go the extra mile to succeed in life.

The best memory I had from the visits was when the UNC students came in for a visit. My surprise was when Ms. Dennis, a former summer intern, came back to see us again. I had a great time at the Health and Self Camp that the UNC students put together.

I think that we should do this again because it gives us a chance to consider different college choices and make connections with college students who can help us with our college process.

My "College Visitation Month"

Colleges are a great way to get what you need. It’s like a pathway to success for some, for a highway to nothing for others. Here at the Freedom Project, we’ve had six great and inspiring colleges to come down here, in the Delta, to tell us about their college and why it’s important to go to a great college. During the college visit I really enjoyed most of my time with Rice University.

Their college really didn’t have my major but the students really had a great impact on me and my fellow classmates. Elderly people have always said that “Laughing is good for your soul” and that’s exactly what they kept me doing. A great memory that I had with Rice University,

was the night in  Saint Stephen's Church when we had the opportunity to meet with them. The students seemed to really enjoy what the freedom project do for middle and high school students. That really pumped me up to do more with my life and so that, not only, I will be recognized for the things that I have done but the people around me will as well. I think that we should have this every single year. We should set aside the month of March to become our “College Visitation Month!”
