This was truly an incredible experience. I am still in awe from everything that occurred on this journey. It was a tour that I will never forget, it was truly a blessing.

This trip was a very valuable, memorable and unforgettable experience. I enjoyed every minute of it from the beginning to the end. I wish I'd gone earlier, as it is late in my effort toward higher education.

As a student, I believe that this program is the best thing that could happen to kids my age. It may be weird, but I can honestly say that within these two days, I have grown. Shalisa Gunter, 11th grade

Ms. Bridgette brought a lot of interesting things to our attention, such as do more to get more, go the extra mile. Samantha Weaver, 8th grade

I learned a ton of things; it would take me an entire book to list it all. Amanda Martinez, 8th grade

This experience is a blessing; we need to start taking more trips because the seeds that are being sown in us are so important to our future. La'Jajah Hopkins, 11th grade

I think we should go on more trips, they are very educational. It lets you learn outside of the classroom. Abraham Isak, 8th grade

During the presentation with Ms. Bridgette, she gave us a lot of tips to enter into the University. She opened my mind to begin to do the best I can in school. Cindy Rubiano, 8th grade

The Professor said, "Never let anyone bring you down or change your dream." To me this is a wonderful phrase to say to young students. Kendall Washington, 8th grade

I learned a lot from the Sociology Professor, Don Sawyer, III, and his Hip-Hop presentation. He encouraged us to follow our dreams and don't let anybody tell you that you can't achieve them in life. Jalesesa Mills, 11th grade

Trips like this can open doors for many who thought that they were closed. It would be very beneficial to us Pleasantville School students to have more educational trips similar to this one. Stephanie Campos, 8th grade

These sorts of trips give students the feel of being in college. It allowed them the ability to interact with the college students and also realize that it is possible for them to become lawyers and doctors; the possibilities are endless. Caleb Watson, 10th grade

I think the most interesting thing on the trip was the lecture on Hip-Hop and how it affects us. I am now considering doing my own research and writing about it. The Professor taught us as if we were his own students; we really got the college experience. Aisha Dorley, 8th grade
