Imagine that when you decide on a college, after working hard on academies over the past twelve years, you finally complete your application. Expectations are through the roof and the long-waited response arrives! A big package on your mailbox which reads: Yes! You have been accepted, Yes! You are the perfect candidate for out university, Yes! Your G.P.A. is high enough for a scholarship in our college. Without a doubt, YES! is the answer we would all like to hear.
This is the main reason why I love all the programs offered at my middle school. I’m a seventh grader that attends the Charles A. Mulligan Middle School at Central Islip NY. My principal is Dr.Tracy Hudson. I love my principal because she loves all student in my middle school, and demands that all go to college. Our mission at our school is “college, career and beyond, we are all in this together.” She says this every morning during the announcements.
Dr. Hudson is also the director of one of my favorite programs in my middle school, which is the Youth Enrichment Services (YES). Dr. Hudson focus for all the students who attend the YES program, is college career and beyond.
A higher education has always been in my future plans. I have two sisters, who both went to college and are now successful professional. However, I always questioned myself on whether I would be able to do the same. The YES program makes me look at college as a reality, not just a dream. I feel as if I was already enrolled in a college. For example, our site coordinator created college success 1 0 1 in which we are divided into different Ivy League colleges. I am a member of Columbia University, which is one of the best universities in the country.
We also need to have some fun and the YES program offers fun activities such as basketball, Castle Learning, wellness walk, cooking, drama, dancing, and on Fridays we play Nintendo Wii, and board mind enrichment games. These activities help me remember the importance of being active. Also, higher education is for artistic students as well, which have a passion for writing, acting, and also dancing.
The YES program offers a homework session. I feel especially thankful for this because it helps me save a lot of time. I no longer need to do my homework at home. It also helps me create a good relationship with my mentors, I know that I can count on them anytime. Little tips are given to us on how to be prepared, responsible and organized to prepare for college.
Overall, I am very happy to be enrolled in the YES program, what I am taught now helps me with my classes, the YES Program is fun and I feel more motivated to go to school. Even better, it has also helped me see college very reachable, which is a very great feeling to have. Did you imagine getting your application responded to? Well so I did, and thanks to the YES program I now have the tools that I need to make that YES happen!
