Algebra and geometry used to be a problem for 17-year-old Jillianlily Weiss.
Now the Freedom High School senior�s math grades and self-confidence are improving, thanks in part to the tutoring she receives from Upward Bound pre-college program.
Weiss wants to see other students benefit from the program and is concerned that potential budget cuts would eliminate programs for low-income students to attend college. She was one of several students in the program who voiced their concerns earlier this year by writing letters to state lawmakers.
