Wish you were here!
Step Up's 2009 Bay Area College Tour truly could not have happened without the support of our members. Thank you for your generosity!
Stops on the tour included:
Cal: I'm so glad that I visited this school because I had heard nothing about it, and I always thought UCLA was the best UC! I fell in love with Cal the moment I stepped on campus. Since it's so far away, I would never have been able to visit, so I'm extremely thankful for Step Up and its beneficiaries. I absolutely loved the school because of its size and diversity. Also, I loved the area in which it's located because it's rich with culture and music, making it the perfect school for me. After the trip, I reflected on how I've been doing in school, and I decided that I will work harder to get into the school of my dreams. UC Berkeley is a huge school, but I'm sure that attending the school will make me grow as a person. Thank you Step Up!
