The fundamental purpose of Upward Bound is help us in upward bound keep our grades up. Our grades have to be at least a 3.7 or higher GPA. Its also to help us graduate college. They want us to get into college and graduate from it. According to the upward bound syllabus the objectives of upward bound are to help us increase our GPA or maintain a 3.7 or higher. It is also to help us increase our standardized test scores. The one that I think is the most important objective is to help us graduate college.
      Upward Bound is different from any other club or organization in our school because it is to help us keep our grades up. Also to help us join and graduate high school. It says that in the Upward Bound Syllabus. Upward bound focuses a lot on us. It focuses on how we are doing in school.
     Another difference in upward bound from other clubs or organizations in school is that we have the Saturday academies. I like the Saturday academies because I get to meet a lot of new people and interact with them. I also learn a lot of things from the guest speakers that they take to talk to us. In the upward bound syllabus it says when we will be having the Saturday academies.
