Welcome back to a new year! I am so excited that we are starting

out a new school year and I want this school year to be meaningful

to you. I want to push every single one of you to think beyond

today and set hard goals that will help you in your future. We had

a great summer program this year. Although it was a hard year

with difficult classes including the Physical Science class, the

students were able to push through, work hard and accomplish

their goal of completing their classes to earn 6 to 7 college credits.

Sometimes life is hard, but when we are able to push ourselves to

do things we never thought were possible, we grow and learn and

become better. I loved getting to know those of you who attended

the summer program this year, and I loved seeing each of you

grow in just the short time while you were living and attending

college classes at UVU.

I am also excited for your new UB presidency this year. My hope is that we can work

together as a group representing you with activity ideas that can help you to grow and

push you to make goals that will improve your life. I cannot stress enough how much

UB can help you if you allow it to. UB was created to open your mind and show you

that you can go to college, graduate and have a career that you love. Just like the UB

summer program was not easy for all of you this summer, life may not always be easy,

but it will be completely worth it in the end.

I wish you a successful year. If you need extra help in a class, if you are not sure what

you need to do as a senior to apply to a college or get financial aid, please go to your

UB Advisor in your school. They are in your school to help you with whatever

challenge you may be facing, and they are there to help you succeed. Please do not sit

back and let the year go by without pushing yourself to be a better person. I am also

here to help you with whatever help you need. Here is to another great year in Upward

Bound.

Daniel Borba Upward Bound

2017-2018 President

Hi everybody, my name is Danny Borba and I have the honor and privilege

of being this year’s UB President. For those of you who don't know me, I

go to Orem High. I enjoy music, hanging out with my friends and family,

and being an Orem High Tiger. This school year has finally started. Some

are starting brand new and for others, it is their last year to be a high school.

I encourage you all to enjoy the moments you get. Whether it be at a

football game with friends or studying for a test that is happening the next

day, take advantage of being in high school. Also, don't procrastinate. Just

do it. This year is going to be awesome and I am excited to meet you all.
