After my interview with these four young people, I reflected on the
quiet sense of "difference" I sensed with many of these Upward Bound
students. (2) As a college teacher who has also taught seventh-grade
science, I have some experience with the faces and attitudes of
adolescence. (3) Upward Bound students had those faces. (4) There was
the puzzled coping with changing bodies—hormone hell. (5) There was
ambivalence about "authority figures" and uncertainties about whether or
not the world would have some place for them. (6) There were the
studied rationalizations about lapses on homework assignments, moments
of despair, adolescent angst—all of that. (7) But there was also that
"difference." (8) Maybe it's one part knowing people care and one part
beginning to trust the future. (9) I wasn't sure. (Turner, "Onward and Upward: Upward Bound Helps Open College Doors," Virginia Journal of Education, June 1992. Adapted as fair usage.) | ||||
