Personal Narrative: Upward Bound Math Science
It is July of this year, 2015, I am riding a charter bus from Stark State College in North Canton,Ohio to Pearl’s dinner in Chicago, Illinois. I am with this program called Upward Bound Math Science, which I had spent all summer with program. We make it to our destination, no problem. See this isn’t the challenge I face this is a day before the really challenge occurs. So that day we went to Wheaton College, which I left bored and barely informed about the school. Next up we go to Navy Pier, we go into this complex get food then leave the building staying at navy pier though. I see two boats, one called the Sea dog, which is yellow, and The Sea Dog Extreme, which is red.
