The Wilkes Brother Mining Co. had an age limit in which their workers had to once they reach 65. The miner was approaching this age, and he was less than a week away from when the traoedv happened. He was teaching his last student of the week. "Alright so wanna get siarted?” he askei “Sure I guess...," replied the student. "You gotta have spirit!" the miner said. He went on leaching him the basics when they got to the break room. "Here is where you eat lunch and dinner."' As They were talking, there was a bang and shaking. "What was that?" Right then, anoiher worker rushed in. "Get out! The mine collapsed!" When they were rushing out, the miner was helping everyone else first. Unfortunately, he couldn't get himself out.

The day we arrived here? Some were filled with joy, while others with fear. Some have been on an experience like this, but others were wondering, "How will I get through with this?,, As parents brought us here and expressed their love, some of them cried while some left with just a hug. All the rules were given 一 we found out who we were running with. Our teams were picked which was a nerve racking experience. Some didn't want to separate from their friends. We got our tour and toured some more. We looked at all the building wall. Some were short and some were tall, but under the stars we loved them all. It's beautiful here, most of us cheered, but then at night some would shed some tears. Not used to such a difference place, how will we keep up with this place? Waking up in the morning was extremely hard. Tm not sure if we can go far. But we could, and we did! We worked hard - some were shocked. No one were left alone or in the dark.

You have helped us with so many things from making us feel welcomed when we first arrived to providing us with activities to do every day. We realize that we are not the only ones that gave up six weeks of their summer for this program, you did too. We thank you for devoting these past six weeks to us. You have given us advice on which colleges to select, and you've helped us prepare for our classes for the upcoming year. You have even helped some of us do our laundry. We thank you for keeping us motivated throughout the program. Finally, as you have wished us success in the future, we would also like to wish you a successful future.

The Literary如七 g二二=£ classwas to read this speech, and Virginia on September Magazine 一asked On the next，― page, you will find excerpts from their writeairesponse —r 一一 -letter to the ' President. ~ c 5' letters. at the end of the dav, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, and the best schools in the world 一 'and - and none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities. Unless you show up to those schools; pay attention to those teachers; listen to your parents, grandparents and other adults; and put in the hard work it takes to succeed. And that's what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education. I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself. Every single one of you has something you're good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself jlfto to discover what that is. Thafs the opportunity an education can provide. Maybe you could be a good UTiter-maybe writer - maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper but you might not know it until you write a paper for your English class. Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor — maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or a new medicine or vaccine - but you might not know it until you do a project for your science class. Maybe you could be a mayor or a Senator or a Supreme Court Justice, but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team. And no matter what you want to do • .................................................................... . ‘--------- ，一一…，or £ with your life -1 guarantee that you'll need an education to do it. You want to be a doctor, teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? You're going to need a good education for every single one of those careers. You can't drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You've got to work fbr it and train for it and leam fbr it.... You,ll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment You?ll need the insights and critical thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free. You'll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy. We need every single one of you to develop your talents, skills and intellect so you can help solve our most difficult problems. If you don't do that - if you quit on school - you're not just quitting on yourself you're quitting on your country. Now I know it's not always easy to do well in school. I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your school work.... Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up. No one's written your destiny for you. Here in America, you write your own destiny. You make your own future. So today, I want to ask you, what's your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a president who comes -here in twenty or fifty or one hundred years say about what all of you did for this country? Your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions. Pm working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books, equipment and computers you need to learn. But you*ve got to do your part too. So I expect you to get serious this year. I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do. I expect great things from each of you. So don't let us down - don't let your family or your country or yourself down. Make us all proud.

The trees had a way of speaking to me. The way they moved in the wind, the way the wind blows on my hair swiftly, the way they flawlessly gaze up to the sun. I have a way of looking at things that makes them look better than what they are. For example a leaf, a simple leaf on the ground is not just a leaf, its life. You see, that leaf goes through a cycle just like we do. It grows, it lives, it can go off of the tree and soars through the sky. Sooner or later the leaf falls and slowly becomes aged, and then it dies like we do. -Diana Rodriguez �Dear Future Me, Someday- This is you five years ago. What are you doing with your life?

When did you figure out what you want to do? Are you still not sure? I mean, Tve thought about being a teacher and think thafs kinda cool, but finding a job is just so hard.

Wishing you well, Morgan Reese Life By Trystan Rackham Hello, I* m Trystan and I' m going to speak freely. In the beginning of our life, we are automatically given two gifts. Life, our first breath, and death, our last breath. As humans, rulers of earth and inventors of everything we are, years and years of development. History has been made by us humans. However, humans are weak. I am weak, you are weak, and we are weak. Our first gift of life can be so easily taken away. So live. Live and carry out the ambitions and aspirations you possess. Our minds are the strongest machines in the world, so us it to the best of your ability and go out there into the world and change it. Mold it. Earth is still ample and ready for our hands to leave our milestone in its crust. Today is today and tomorrow is tomorrow. Live today productively. Whether that means talking to your friends or researching information, you influence everyone around you. So go out and live before that second gift. ���脆弥by： Poem 1: Every time you close your eyes Your mind reveals a new surprise No matter whether if s dark or light It will entice you through the night Showing what is yet to come Or simply the places you are from This is something you all know And every morning must let it go Someday Poem By: Richard Mitkowsld SoBneday I will start Jiuiior year Sojneday I will graduate Someday I will become 18 Someday I will become a doctor Someday I may have kids Someday I mil die Someday I become a diamond you're A DIAMOND , DEAR Poem 2; Aspirations and hopes, goals and dreams This life is really not what -----it1 seems As we try to decide As\ ■ what to do To ourselves we must be true Realizing how v: we want to live And showing what .< v< have 11CIV C to give 〜 一t we Pushing d’kj ourselves . in such away That Lat we grow nearer success everyday ▲ ，o---------- 33 THey CAN'T BREAK you. �By: Victoria Now睡, The Water's Truth By Richard Mitkowski - 、「 i D唧 g、 Fire is red Water is blue Except the Susquehanna IT LOOKS LIKE POO!

I grabbed a book and sat on top of my chair, connected to my desk. I started sliding down from the top of my chair, when I thought I heard something rip. My friend Morgan asked if I farted, but then I felt the hole in the back of my pants. I said, <cNo, I ripped my pants." I didn,t think it was that bad, so I asked her to check my pants to tell me how bad it was and it turns out you could clearly see my underwear. Then, I had to go up to the nurse, and two people went up with me, but neither of them covered my butt, so I had to cover it with my hand, and failing. So everyone in the class saw my underwear. I walked up to the nurse with my hand on my butt, and when I got there the nurse asked me what size I wore, I told her a 3, and she handed me a size 10. Not only were the pants huge on me, but they were the length of capris, and were wide at the bottom. I was also wearing boots that day, so it all just looked terrible. Then, when class was over, my friends started laughing. They told me that the pants were see-through, so I started bawling my eyes out. Luckily, though, Victoria offered to switch pants with me. AVe walked in the bathroom and started changing while this girl walked in and just watched us. A few weeks later, noticed that Victoria had stashed the pants in the girls' locker room one day after school, and there they lie. So, yeah, that was the time I ripped my pants. �Dear 2015 Lit Mag reader, T/C Pete starter pack Before reading the next few entries, you must understand a few things. The UB students who took lit with Ms. Zerfoss were *forced* to read a novel called Feed, by M. T Anderson. Throughout this futuristic novel where the characters have a feed built into their heads, there is no need for hand-held technology, and gives you “everything you want before you know you want it," the reader goes through the daily life of Titus, a spoiled rich kid who can do whatever he wants, when he wants with his friends. One day, while hanging out on the moon to try to have fun, Titus notices a beautiful girl. Later in the novel you find out this girl is Violet. After they meet, the novel is almost all about Titus's relationship with her as her health declines because of a terrible hacking incident. The feed already causes harmful side effects, and things get worse. Happy reading! The Feed By Amy Hoover Common side effects may include malfunctions, headaches, hair loss, and lesions. The Feed can also be hacked, and then end up being shut off. Once turned off, ifll take some time to get used to not being able to use the feed. If the feed is messed up, you can die. �Pen and paper Messages Ravanna >^3/no\v5<i ATTENTION FEED USER: Have you recently lost the Dear Titus, I don't understand why you think so low of yourself.

For you who don't know what the feed is it is something that is planted inside your head and it's like a phone but you don*t have to hold it in your pocket or worry about losing it. You can see whatever you want whenever you want and however you want. You may think that the feed is great and is all fun and games, but believe me it isn't, at all! There are so many dangers of using it. There is this one young girl who got the feed when she was 7 and now she is on the verge of dying. I don't like the feed at all! That's why I don't have it, and I don't plan on getting it anytime soon. And I personally do not recommend you getting one. It will hurt you if you get it too late.

You took the first step in joining Upward Bound, which shows that you are not only thinking and dreaming about your future goals, but you are also committed to making your educational goals a reality. You have made the choice to spend six weeks of your summer with UB. Our choices are what enable us to tell the world who we are, and you are Upward Bound! Through your participation on your teams: Lilo and Stitch, Toy Story, Tarzan, Narnia, and Madagascar, you have developed the social skills of compromise, collaboration, and open-mindedness. Through your rigorous academic program, you have developed the skills of discipline, dedication, and perseverance. These attributes are going to serve you well in school, as well as in life. I hope this summer has helped you recognize all of your individual strengths and has also given you the courage to build upon this great foundation. To quote Winnie the Pooh, "You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think!" This quote applies to all of our students. I hope you know that you are special and capable of greatness. You were stretched out of your comfort zone and have had tremendous individual growth. I have watched you transform before my eyes. Thank you for letting me be a part of your remarkable summer. I cannot wait to see your dreams come true; they do not require magic, only tenacity. Always believe in yourself because the best is yet to come!

The Disney Company has also released 15 "True-Life Adventures f Disneynaiurc movies and 11 documentaries fora grand total of 389 movies that have made billions of dollars w over the 92 years since the company's creation. All of this began with one man. Walter Elias Disney, better known as simply Walt Disney, was bom on December 5th, 1901 in Chicago, Illinois. Disney s drawing career technicallv began at four years old when he and his family moved to the farmlands of Marceline, Missouri. There he was p^d to draw a horse for a neighbor. Little Disney developed a love for drawins and practiced by copying the illustrations of the cartoonist Ryan Walker. Disney found Walker's illustrations on the front page of the newspaper the Appeal io Reason. Disney's family moved to Kansas City, Missouri when he was ten years old. There he attended the Benton Grammar School where he met a student by the name of Walter Pfeiffer. Pfeiffer and his family were interested in theatre and movies and soon Disney developed an interest in those subjects, too. Disney got his unofficial start with a drawing of a neighbor's horse at four years old, but his lifelong career really started to take shape when he decided to attend art school and became a commercial illustrator at just eighteen years of age. The company that Walt Disney started has released 389 movies as of July 1st, 2016 and there's still more a lot more to come! There are 25 movies with release dales planned through 2020 and 36 movies with release dates that have yet to be determined. The company that Walt Disney started has been around since 1923. Disney's movies earned him a total of 22 Academy Awards from 59 nominations, 3 Golden Globe Awards, and 1 Emmy Award. He also had the honors of being involved in the planning of the 1959 Moscow Fair and the 1960 Winter Olympics. There are 13 Disney Parks in the world. It is now 2016 and Disney's company is still growing. You can do anything you want to do. You can become anything you want to be. If you can drcam it, you can do it! Follow those dreams!

In the middle of a game of fetch, Tyler threw the stick being used out onto the waters past shore. As Snoop paddled in the waters to retrieve the stick, Tony noticed ripples in the water beyond where anyone else was swimming. He got scared and got the other two to get Snoop away. Suddenly, the strange ripples sped up and sloshed water up to where Snoop had just got his stick. He began to howl as something grasped his legs and pulled him under the waters. All the kids saw this and they all started to leave the water, running and screaming towards town. Mezue, Tony, and Tyler stayed to try to save Snoop. one of my goals is to help my fellow peers in this program. This may include As they got close to where Snoop went under, Tyler seized by fear in what he saw under the water. There would be — 3 no saving Snoop.

It has been awhile since I started the program and I am happy to say I've Antonio Carey academic or personal problems. I hate seeing others troubled and this program will give me a chance to become a better-rounded, likeable guy. I never really had tons of friends. Overall, my goals for this program is to prepare me for the adult world with academic, business, and social skills. I find myself to be lucky to be here. Many others do not have the same opportunities. After 5 weeks... completed my goals for the most part. This program really helped me to do so. ����A Disney Princess made me ... The next 6 Weeks Week 1 Once upon a time in a faraway land lived a princess named snow white. One day she was walking through the forest and stumbled What do I expect to get out of the next six weeks is college upon an little old lady, the old lady offered snow white an apple as she experience? In my mind the upward bound program gives one of couldn't refuse she took a huge bite of the apple, but soon after she knew the most college like experiences out there. From living on something was wrong she was dizzy and fell as soon as she fell she saw campus to the classes, the upward bound program is going to be the old lady turn into the evil queen, snow white fighting to stay awake great. asked what was going on. The evil queen told her that she was cursed and the only way to break it is true loves kiss, after reviling her plan she disappeared. Snow white now in tranced in sleep was now hopelessly waiting for the kiss. A month later the kiss happened as snow white awoke she was in the arms of a beautiful prince, but her happiness was soon ruined as the evil queen reappeared, seeing that snow white had awoke , she became enraged , so she banish snow white from the land. Snow white now found herself in a new land. After looking around she thought it was a new kingdom, the Kingdom of Wilkes University. After meeting up with a kind young man named Tyler he told her what the kingdom was and what he is doing there. After he explained the upward bound program she loved it and decided to stay and continue with it, after the program she went to Wilkes to study chemistry to defend her land from the likes of the evil queen. Week 6 I was right, it was amazing. I got to make new friends, learn new things and get college experience. -Tyler �Dreams, Hopes. Goals By; Thalia Charles Madagascar What hope, an What is is a a dream, dream, a a hope, an aspiration? aspiration? What What do do we call people who have hopes ail j上 gg? Dreamers, 二云二，the and intuitive — mover and shaker that shape the and dreams? "curious -- ---------------------wo rid. Unfortunately, society has invested a lot of time trying to deter the dreamers and revolutionaries of our time from pursuing our paths. But let me warn you, when the dreamers stopped dreaming, all of our lives will lose purpose. If we are lucky, at an early age, our parents instill us the drive to set goals. But if that nurturing presence isn!t there, we dream anyway. Boredom and childlike naivete feels that presence. I never dreamed more when my parents supported my future dreams When I was younger, I hoped to become a famous singer one day. That dream wasn't active, 1 wasn't posting videos on YouTube to get discovered or anything. It was more of a childhood dream that I wanted to accomplish. But one day, a couple of weeks ago. 1 woke up and realized that my main childhood was vanquished. I suppose I forgot that dream because I moved onto more "practical dreams." Such as becoming a doctor, therapist, nurse practitioner, or doctor (again). That's how I define it, but others might say, ^Thalia, you simply grew up." Thus lies the problem, at the ages of 15,16,17, and even 18, we should still be allowed to have impractical dreams. Such as being a King, a famous singer, a NBA player, etc. But when I, at the age of 16, have to start defining what I want to do with the rest of my life and working towards that, my "impractical dreams" die. Along with the other ones, I gave up or forgot my singing dreams long ago. Those Frivolous' aspirations kept me animated: I loved to sing. I gave up my singing career in the pursuit of security and stability in a definite, achievable occupation. Society cannot and will not tolerate those with the unbreakable spirit of imagination and blind ambition. I lost my life when I lost my purpose, but I've regained both, much to the chagrin of societal norms. When dreamers stop dreaming, all of their lives lose purpose. Let's take my case. Music brings many things, such as comfort, a sense of belonging, and purpose, to people. What if I could've made music to remedy a broken heart or empower others, but I gave it up to become get a "career"? I could've reached and united someone, but because I adhered to conformity, songs were never written and hearts were never reached. So now, I solemnly sv/ear that I will give every dream, “practical" or "impractical", its day in the sun. I can't be too certain if I'm dreaming for myself or someone else. 买K9&泌，©0^®5ng?

Lastly, we reminded her to have fun! The end. -Shyanne Wydo If I could be any Disney character, I would be Mulan for her strength and her brevity. During her time, women were to have a husband chosen by a matchmaker and live a comfortable life. But instead, because of the threat of war, Mulan took her father's place of fighting and took the role of a warrior so that her father may rest easy. Additionally, because she brought dishonor to her family from the matchmaking accident, she would make it up by risking her life to protect her people. Overall, she defied the stereotype of women during her time and shielded her family from the danger that would have definitely fallen upon them in return for the honor she lost. By: Kimberly Rodriguez Team Toy Story �All about me Shyanne Quiet, smart, nerdy Who is a sibling of many Who loves her best friend Who needs more sleep Who gives advice Who fears bugs Who wants to see her cousin Who lives in Hanover Wydo A cool, windy breeze blows from the north and disturbs the sea, which chases the wind but fail to grasp its invisible strength, leaving the sea to rise and fall against the rough, uneven shore and shake the boats at the docks. Every night ifs the same, and every night I come to rest and breathe it all in and slowly let it out. Not far from the shore lies a lighthouse, guiding the lost home with its solid rays of hope, security, and comfort so that the boats can return to the docks where it belongs, anchored in safety so it doesn't float away. And while I stand on this shore, my feet sinking in the sand under the salty, cool water, which frequently retreats and then rises again to lick my feet, I feel like a boat which is lost at sea. When waves get rough and shoves the boat in anger, I hope to find a beacon of hope flashing right at me. I hope to see this ray so that I may be guided home, to where I originate from and to a place where I may find the calm sea where I can find myself again. I stand here every night, taking in the noise of the waves' splash, breathing in the foreign air, and I wait and wish that one day I, too, shall find and chase the light to reach a dock of hope, security, and comfort.

She couldn't see the logic always being confused on a . behind the numbers, nor could she reason why. However, I do recall her excelling in in geometry and understanding most complex concept. even tthe -- -----------，. The reason she couldn't do algebra but be a savant in geometry confused me, but I then figured out why. In geometry, everything tends to be drawn out and easily proven by tangible objects and demonstrations, whereas algebra is mostly abstract thinking and conceptual. So when she went into algebra II and once again struggled and asked for help, I came up with a way to help her that went with her visual and kinesthetic learning preference. Every day, I would get legos, blocks, wire, and markers in my room and set up the whiteboard and my laptop. Once she came over, I explained the concept to her in details. I took everything apart into digestible bits in which she could easily digest. I also modeled certain things for her so that she may visually and sometimes tangibly know the difference and make better connections. We*d do graphs and she would use the wires to make the different shapes of the parabolas, and use vending machines as prime examples for functions. Of course, it was a somewhat tedious process as she struggled at first, but I then began to see the tremendous improvement with her progress. When school was over and she ended algebra II with a grade of 98, she told me that she really appreciated my help with her algebra II work and that because of our sessions, she achieved her goal of understanding algebra and making it through the year with more confidence.

I also expected it to be like my homeschool and be left alone to so that if I wanted to grow, rd have to find the courage and time to do it myself. However, once I came to stay in the summer, I was forced to participate in activities so that I may actually grow and develop the social skills and communication skills I lacked. I didn't like it (still don't), but 1 do see improvement in myself and I do feel more comfortable and at ease around my peers during team meetings or activities. I did receive more help and have a better understanding on the concepts behind what 1 was previously taught. I was also shown how to think in order to get a certain conclusion or answer and other skills that go beyond academics. It was what I expected, but it did exceed my expectations.

This class will be a valuable thing to have as an experience throughout the entire summer. I hope to get every ounce of this experience that will help me later in life. Reflection: The six weeks have been an enlightening experience for me. It has showed me how college life could be and how t would play out. It showed me how to manage my time and relationships and directed me towards my priorities in life. It was a great way to spend my summer and it was great to meet people that I have seen before and some that I would've never known. I meet some friends that I will keep throughout my entire high school career and maybe life. The literary magazine class was an experience that I shall keep and I acquired great knowledge which I really liked.
