I really enjoyed my time this year at the 2010 College Boot Camp. It was definitely an eye opener. It helped me to
become aware of what is necessary of me in order to prepare for college. I am so happy I had Ms. Robinson, because
I would have never worked this hard by myself. I loved the Saturdays they allowed me to go step by step in figuring
out what schools I wanted to apply to. Thank you, Ms. Robinson for everything you have done for me!!

This summer I had the chance to be apart of something some students rarely have a chance to. While some seniors wait until the
last minute to find a college, apply for scholarships, and get organized for the next step in their life; as an upcoming senior
I am already prepared. At first I did not want to get up and attend this workshop; however, it became a learning and fun experience.
You get a chance to meet new people, network, understand the importance of preparation/organization, stay on top of what you have to
do and realize that deadlines need to be met. Ms. Robinson, an outstanding woman, the coordinator, was always on her students involved
in the boot camp so we would not fall off or stumble. If we did she was there. I can honestly say I appreciate Ms. Robinson for dedicating
her time and efforts into my life. I hope that students after me receive the same college boot camp I did. Thank you!

The college boot camp was an inspiring experience for me. I feel anyone who joins this camp will surely be pleased with the hard work and
dedication Ms. Robinson deposit into the students and their future. If you are questioning whether you should sign up, I give the
class two thumbs up. You will find out many things you did not know existed in the college admissions process. So sign up and
I promise you Ms. Robinson will show you the path to your future.

This boot camp really helped me get myself organized. I honestly thought it was going to be boring, but it covered so many unanswered
questions I had about the college admission process. I wish we could have had more time with the SAT teacher, because I learned a
lot of different techniques to help me get a higher score. I believe the boot camp should have been longer or maybe we could have
met once a month. I really enjoyed my experience and I believe I met some life long friends.

My reflections of the 2010 College Planning Boot Camp I loved it!!!! The program has helped me wake up and smell the coffee
that I am a senior and its time to buckle down and get some work done. If I did not have Ms. Regina I would not have been as
organized or so prepared for any of this. She has actually motivated me and made my senior year be stress free so far! She also
helped me prepare for the SAT she actually takes the time out of her day to send a word of the day and a problem. So just by her
being so altruistic (learned it threw her) she helped me tremendously! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!

My reflection of the Suited for Success 2010 College Boot Camp was very helpful. It provided me with the information I need
to get ready for college. For example, how to write a good recommendation letter, a head start on my essay, as well as help me study
and prepare for the SAT. The program provided me with a practice SAT/ACT site and packet. I would advise anyone with an opportunity to
take this program to sign-up, because it provides you with a head start in preparing for the college admissions process. So don’t
hesitate, just do it!
