Edwin Hawkins Department: Teacher Assistant Years with Upward Bound: 1 year I live in Everett. I am a junior attending U.W. I am 21 years old and want to be a doctor.

Tell one funny event that happened in your life.

Two weeks ago, I went into QFC.  I got what I needed then walked up to the cash register.  The cashier told me the total; however, when I reached into my pocket my money was not there.

Why did you decide to join the program?

I needed a summer job, but to my surprise this has been the most enjoyable summer job ever. I would do it over again.

What do you like most about the program?

I like the closeness that exists between the students and teachers. The closeness allows the students to get the help they need.

What do you think about the students in the program?

They are all great!
