Russell Co. HS Upward Bound Student shares thoughts The following article was written by Shelby Robertson, a junior at Russell County High School. It was published on Affinity Magazine) Click on headline for story with photo(s) By Russell County Upward Bound student Shelby Robertson Submitted by Allison Horseman, Somerset Community College As I have gone through my high school career, the talk of college has only increased. Teachers and administration encourage us to begin college tours, take the ACT and even begin looking for scholarship opportunities. For too many, especially in rural Kentucky, this process is extremely difficult for more reasons than just one. For starters, many cannot make the journey to colleges miles and miles away to view colleges that can potentially be a good fit for them. Moreover, many have no clue where to even begin, lacking parents who have gone through the pre-college process themselves. Though schools can be a tremendous help and do what they can, it can be very difficult for them to devote sufficient, one-on-one time to students who need help getting to college. That is why I'm so thankful for a program I've been involved in for two years now, the Upward Bound program.
