UB Got Me Here

"UB Got Me Here" is a new column that features various students for the academic and personal success they have achieved with the help of the Upward Bound program. Everyone has a different story, and we look forward to hearing how Upward Bound has helped prepare each student for the future and what goals these students have set for themselves.

Want to be featured? Email jenkinse@technologyproject.ohio.edu or message Upward Bound on Facebook.

This week's spotlight is on Destiny Gooslin!


Destiny says: "Upward Bound has helped me prepare for college by providing me with the resources I need to succeed. Each workshop and summer phase that I attended over my four years taught me something new. I no longer had to worry about not knowing what to do. Upward Bound also provides me with a  group of people who understand my struggles and accepts everyone. I could not have made it without this program. I now study Undecided Arts and Sciences at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. My goals are to get above a 3.0 GPA this year, not miss more than three classes a semester and to find my major."

Good work, Destiny! We can't wait to see you achieve your goals this year at OHIO.
