This year's Journey Beyond Dreams College Experience
Program impacted the lives of high school students from Houston and Waco. The program provided students with
a realistic view of college, and exposed the students to campus life. The six day program, facilitated at Baylor University in Waco, Texas,
equipped students with the tools, techniques and resources to be
successful in college and in their everyday lives.

"The Journey Beyond Dreams college experience program at Baylor
University was an amazing experience, I learned a lot of things about
college like what Universities are IVY League, how to write a college essay and
fill out an application. I learned about the 4 P's in Business class which was
product, promotion, place, and price. Most of all I planned the road to my
dream and was able to really understand and know where I want to be in the
future and why. The other students that were present at the camp were amazing.
They were friendly, nice, respectful and they were fun to be around. Everyone
was unique in their own way and it was a perfect combination of students. Also
the camp counselors and facilitators were full of knowledge and everyday they
had an exciting activities for us to do. Last but not the least Tyrone Smith there is a lot to say
about him but most of all he was full of energy and motivation he always knew
how to connect to us and make us laugh. I could keep going about amazing this
program is but I noticed I have written a lot. I believe this program
is very important because we learn a lot of things and most of all how you work
together to accomplish something, it was just a week but a very long week of
fun and I hope and pray that this program continue and every child should have
the chance to experience it."
