Day 21 – UBSC Blog

Sharing by UBSC Board member: Lynn DuTran

The first time I knew about Upward Bound Study Center was through my cousin. He said that it is a place for people who are newcomer to this country to study English and make new friends. He suggested that I should go there, given that fact that I am not a social person and have been staying in Florida for half of a year without making any new friends. So, I said yes. It has been a life-changing choice that I have make personally. I have met so many amazing people and learn so much as a student. I am also able to give back and serve as an operation assistant to the same community that I once was part of. I sincerely appreciated for anyone in the center that has helped me to grow as a student and as an adult. I also appreciated that there is Upward Bound Study Center connecting people in the community so that people can find the help they need.

After 400 days of online classes and 60 days of hybrid learning classes, 56% of students returned to Upward Bound Study Center (UBSC) for an in-person class setting. During the hybrid learning classes trial, students attended the in-person classes twice a week and online classes for the rest of the week. For the center reopening, UBSC is hosting the annual fundraising drive requesting your continual support as we continue to serve the San Gabriel immigrant community.
