8. Participant Attitude Survey
Sometimes I think about giving up on going to college.
I have the money I need to attend college.
There are other ways to have a good life besides going to college.
I need help selecting a career that is good for me.
I wonder if I am willing to give up things to finish college.
Sometimes I wonder why society puts so much pressure on us to go to college LC
Participant Attitude Survey

9. “We had many good discussions about imperative things that are needed not jut for college but for being successful as a man”
“I believe the program was very helpful. It taught me about study habits and learning how to adapt to society. I believe for the young me to learn next year, the mentors should have former people in the program.”
“I think the program should let people that already attend come back. The reason I say that is because we have learned a lot in this program and I think that we should be able to learn more.” LC
