The UBMS has been such a great experience, it has thought me a lot about how the college life will be. This program has also helped me prepare so when the new school year start I can get an idea of what we will be going over. I really en- joyed the activities that they have us do or at least most of the activities. I must admit that the schedule thing should be fixed to make it work, but other than that I am grateful for having the opportunity of know- ing what it will feel like when I do have to leave home for more than 6 weeks. I am also grateful because I have learned so much this summer that can help me later on. - Daisy I like the program so far. I’ve made new friends and I’m getting to be acquainted with other people here. I’m also learning about things that I’ve never known about before I came here. I’m also learning things I need to know when I start school in August. It’s very fun here too, I really enjoy the weekend activities and business tours we have. Overall I like the program and I do enjoy being here. - Divina Silguero I think this program is an amazing opportunity for teens to prepare for their future and have a college experience. I like the diversity this program offers, I got to meet many people from different parts of Texas and I also learned more about myself. The program could be im- proved by giving us a little bit more breaks, our schedule is very tiring. -Herminia It’s been good, but I haven’t really been enjoying the academics part, due to the fact that I don’t enjoy most of what this program provides on the math and science subject. I would have to say that I have a love- hate situation towards the program. I love it because of the experiences and activities that we get to partic- ipate in, and I do like the fact that I’m learning ahead of schedule. It’s more complicated in my own mind, but I’m pretty sure others could be able to write out how they feel. The timing about everything should be planned early, always have a plan B when you’re working for a program that has so many possibilities that are negative and positive (not a part of the plan). -Izabella I think it’s pretty good besides the work you have to do, but that’s what everyone came here for so it’s a good eye opener work hard even though no one else is . The field trips are fun you get to explore and go to places that you never been. The dorms they need elevators the hurt girls have to go up four flights of stairs with one crutch and they get super tired which I think is unfair for them and everyone else. - Jalisa The UBMS program has been such a great experience. I can’t wait for the years to come in this program. I have met a lot of new people and friends. - Jennifer This program is really good and helpful in preparing us for college. The best thing is just living or stay- ing at a campus for a month. What This is my first year doing this pro- can be improved is to make us wake gram and I absolutely love it, I hope up later. - Josue I will continue to do this till my senior year. - Jackie I feel like this is a really good, maybe one of the best that is avail- able for high school students. I like that we kind of get the full college experience. One thing that can be useful is helping kids help manage their time better most of them try to complete all of their assignments the night before it’s due and that causes them to stay up late and fall asleep in class. Also I wish that in the future students will get along better, there are many things that go unsaid and that leads into many problems. -Richard
