My tenure as an English instructor for the Indiana University Bloomington Upward Bound program (Summer 2007, Summer 2008) are some of my most cherished memories. These kids changed my life. I hope I had a fraction of that impact on them.


We really need to save Upward Bound and ALL TRIO programs. I'm always hearing "oh the children, the children..." well, it's time to back that up like Juvenile.


The following video was shot the last week of the program after we found out it was shutting down. And yes, that's a snippet of "Excuses" on the chalkboard LOL.


Many thanks to Malinda Aston of the Indiana Daily Student for hooking me up!
