I know what I want in life, I'm going to succeed!
Hey, my name is Karen and I live in Yuma, Arizona. I'm hispanic and yes I speak spanish. I like to play softball, dance, and draw. I focus a lot on school, I enjoy challenges but also like to get distracted with a sport to take stress off. I'm ready to face what comes for me in the future and I know what I want. My desire is to go to university and earn my dergee in two majors. My saying is if you want something in life, go after it, don't waste time that's valuable time.

Upward Bound

It's a program that helps and gives support to make the decision to want to go to a 4- yr college. During summer, we have camp and we learn the college life and how it is without family around and be independent. Camp runs for 6 weeks and the last week of camp we travel to visit universities and get an idea of what's coming in the future. Also during the school we help out the community and have meetings and we have to keep our grades up meeting the expectations that the program has. In over all, it's an amazing program because besides being involve we make friendship that are just amazing, I don't regret applying because it's more than want I had imagined and it has helped me make the decisions I need for my future.
