February/March
2008
Hey
Guys!
First
off I
want to
thank
everyone
who
attended
the
Winter
Retreat.
I
thought
the
weekend
went
amazingly
well. I
know
that I
had a
really
good
time and
I hope
that
each of
you did
as
well. I
hated
seeing
some of
you miss
out
because
of the
weather.
I really
wish
that all
of us
could’ve
attended.
As most
of you
know
recruiting
and
interviewing
is in
full
swing
right
now.
The
final
interviews
and
selections
will be
made
within
the next
couple
of
weeks.
I
believe
that we
have had
a great
group of
students
that
would
fit
great
into our
“family.”
This is
definitely
my
favorite
part
about
working
for UBMS,
but it
is also
my least
favorite
part
because
of the
fact
that we
have to
turn
down
some
really
good
candidates.
I want
to thank
those of
you who
spread
the word
about
the
program
and
encouraged
these
students
to
apply.
I also
encourage
each of
you to
keep up
with
your
homework.
I do not
want to
see one
of these
new
students
take
your
spot
because
you
didn’t
complete
assignments
on time
or
didn’t
have
them
done
correctly.
Again,
this is
one of
the only
things
that we
ask of
you in
order to
keep
your
eligibility
for the
summer.
Summer
preparations
have
begun.
I am
searching
for
professors
to teach
classes
and have
already
started
planning
and
thinking
of ideas
for
trips.
Our next
plan of
attack
will be
to get
on the
phone,
start
making
the
reservations,
and
picking
out some
good
restaurants
to eat.
=)
Seniors,
I know
that
that
your
time is
wrapping
up. If
there is
anything
that I
can do
to help,
please
do not
hesitate
to ask
me. I
am
always
here for
you guys
and am
very
proud of
some of
your
guys’
accomplishments.
Each of
you have
something
to be
very
proud
of.
Our
next
Saturday
Activity
is
planned
for
Saturday,
March 29th.
Please
be
there.
Some of
you have
already
missed
the 2
unexcused
absences.
I am
counting
on you
being
there.
If you
have
something
that is
school
related,
you must
send in
your
form and
let me
know
ahead of
time. I
look
forward
to
seeing
you
guys.
We will
talk
more
about
our new
students,
things
to look
forward
to the
summer,
and take
part in
some
other
type of
workshops,
games,
and
icebreakers.
Take
Care and
enjoy
the
beginning
of
Spring!
A NEW SUMMER by Angie Coody
A year has gone by and the wait is finally over
The summer I’ve been looking forward to is here.
All I have left in me is fear but
The new moments are so near.
The summer starts and the fear is washed away
Cause we work hard and play all day
We all have so much to say
But we don’t know what’s the right way
A new journey begins
All over again
For this journey a lot more has been brought in but
None of my journeys will be forgotten
Poem by Brittany Daniels
My life changed this summer
I became part of a family
I made friends; companions
And for the first time I LIVED
I loved flying and riding the metro,
Once the fear subsided
Going to DC and California
Meant the world to me
I’ll never forget
The night of the dance
I had so much fun
I never wanted the night to end
Another chapter of my life was written this summer
And although it has to come to an end
The memories will be in my heart forever.
Poem by Seth Jones
Unique and wonderful people
Pride in building the future
Want to come back
Always love it
Really good friends
Darn good times
Being around awesome people
Outstanding summer
Unusual sites
Nobody left out

Homework
Assignment
Remember, it is essential we
receive your assignment. If you fail to complete
any assignment, you may be considered ineligible for
college visits as well as the upcoming summer program.
February
Write a
500-600 word essay on which of the
Presidential candidates you would vote
for in the 2008 election. Tell us
why this candidate would get your
vote. What is your candidate's position
on the issue of access to higher
education? Would your candidate support
continued funding of Trio Programs? If
not, how do you overcome this in your
decision to vote for this candidate?
What are the most important issues to
you?
Use 2 of the
pre-writing techniques discussed in the
UBMS writing workshops: freewriting,
outlining, questioning, bubbling, etc.
Attach them to the finished essay (they
need not look pretty, just show us your
work).
In order to
receive credit for this assignment, your
essay must be typed using 12 point font,
double spaced.
This
assignment is due March 14.
March
Research your top three schools and
create one final test with at least
10 questions, including multiple
choice, fill in the blank, and short
essay. You do not need to come up
with 10 questions about each school,

be at least 2 questions about each
school. Be sure to provide an
answer key to your test. Finally,
write a short paragraph explaining
why you chose these three schools or
what interests you most about these
colleges or universities. Please
e-mail your test, answer key and
paragraph to Steve at the e-mail

UBMS
University Spotlight
of the Month:
UBMS Photo Page
Heather Holland
came up with the idea of sharing summer photos with one another
through the internet. She has setup a webpage through photobucket.com in which UBMS participants can share their photos
and order a CD of photos if they desire. The following are
directions and a link so that you can view and upload your own
photos.
-
save your pictures to a folder on your computer
-
go to
www.photobucket.com
-
put in these two items:
sign in name:
UBMSSummerFUN
password:
2msfamily -
click on browse and find the folder your pictures
are in
-
double click on the picture (it will bring you back
to the main page) then click submit
-
it’ll take some time
depending on how fast or slow your computer is, but your picture
will load up there.
-
keep adding pictures from the summer, the final
trip, anything to do with UBMS
