Created to broaden horizons and prepare students
for college, GEAR UP offers
further assistance in college
for those who were enrolled
during junior high or high
school.
GEAR UP is a federallyfunded college readiness
program that has supported
lower-income students since
1999. It began assisting students at surrounding schools
in 2006, and offered an excess
of tools to help students aim
and prepare for college. For
those who have actively participated in the program, it has
given students a glimpse into
a future they never thought
possible.
Its main goal is to open
the possibility of attending
college to students who never
considered going, whether
it be from a lack of money
or drive to attend, and to
assist them in enrolling and

You are with a group of friends, talking, laughing and having a great time when all of a sudden
one of your friends says something to you. It hurts
your feelings and even humiliates you. You try to
brush it off as no big deal, but you cant help but
wonder why. Why would a friend do that to you?
Unfortunately, situations like that above happen more than one would think. Subtle bullies
are everywhere. According to MBNBD, one in
seven students in grades K-12 are either bullies
or victims of bullying. The bad part is most of
the time they exist in our close group of friends.
Girls are most often the culprits, as well as the
victims to subtle bullying.
You know the saying, sticks and stones may
break my bones but words will never hurt me?
That saying has never been, nor will it ever be,
true. Ive always said sticks and stones may break
my bones, but words will be the death of me.
Hurting others with words seems to be so
common that we dont even realize what we do.
We dont see the damage it does. We may even
be victims of subtle bullying yet find ourselves
doing it to others. Why, when we know how
hard subtle bullying makes life, would we do it
to someone else?
Ive been bullied by other girls my whole life,
but also know Ive found myself doing the same
thing. This vicious cycle of hurting each other
has to stop somewhere. Subtle bullying is just as
damaging to a person as actual physical bullying.
The emotional effects subtle bullying has on a
person can be deadly. Thats why it has to stop.
None of us want to wake up one day and
find that our friend, the one we bullied for stupid meager reasons, took their life because we
couldnt wake up and see their hurt. Whether
we are bullying because of jealousy or just so
we feel better about ourselves, its never okay to
bully another person even in subtle ways. Subtle
attacks can be the most deadly.
The criticizing has to stop. The rude comments
have to stop. We need to show kindness toward
one another, we have to break the cycle because
if we do not, what will the next generation be like
if we dont change? We can make a difference.
We can stop the catty fighting.
We can stand up for each other and make sure
that we are never caught trying
to justify why we treated someone poorly. There is never a
just reason, no matter what
the person is like, to treat
them poorly. Lets rise above
and stop the subtle bullying. Who knows, we
might just save a life.
Weve lived lives, weve gained experiences, weve had heart break and felt love
that others dream of. At some point, we
decided that what we had wasnt good
enough, that we were capable of more. We
pulled ourselves out of the dreary lives we
lead and shouted in the loudest voice we
could muster, I am not done yet. So we
rearrange our lives, make sacrifices and
trudge forth, for we are fearless and will
not be left behind in a life of mediocrity,
we are the non-traditional students and
this is our story.
Some of us did not graduate high
school, some of us did. We entered the
work force as soon as possible. Some of
us took jobs at local restaurants or at local
department stores, some joined the military and some tried their hands at being
business owners, but we find ourselves in
the same place.
We hold jobs, support families, keep
households and fight to earn the coveted
college degree, in hopes that it will im-

Being different has always been something that people are judged for. In history,
people were judged for having a different

For the fourth straight year, USU Eastern cosmetology students hosted their annual bake sale and will donate

informed of their happening after they happened. Though the Institute is supposed to be
a place of welcome and friendship, it at times
feels more like a gathering of cliques. Yet in
spite of this, I still love going to the Institute.
True, Im not always included; I often
feel forgotten, unneeded and unwanted. At
times, I question why I go to the Institute
when most of my friends either arent there
or will be leaving soon. But then, when Im
in my D&C or relationships class, or when
attending Friday Forum, I feel that peace I
yearn for every day.
I remember that even if no one talks to
me, I am loved. My contribution matters and
no matter what anyone says, I am wanted.
Im needed. Im important. I go to Institute
for a reason. I go to grow, to learn and become closer with my Savior. I go because
I know it is right, because it is what I need
and what I love.
When I think about it, the institute and
its students are like a family. Its a warm
and safe place despite its imperfections and
flaws. Its a place to rest and seek refuge, to
stress and freak out and to cry and break
down. Its a home away from home, a place
where we can be broken down and built up
again stronger. Its one of the places I feel
most welcome on campus, and its a place I
look forward to visiting every day.

The issues facing college
students today are numerous and
tough. The pressures of studies
and other factors (work, social
life and extra-curricular) can leave
someone feeling as if they cant do
it. There is still a stigma attached
to getting help and it leaves people
who desperately need help scared
to get it.
Its time we start realizing that
these issues we face (depression,
anxiety and other disorders) are
physical diseases that need to be
treated like any other disease a
person can face in their life.
Darrin Brandt, director of
student services, said, It is easy
for people to accept that they
have imperfect bodies, but when
it comes to our brains, for some
reason it doesnt translate that
because we live in this imperfect
world with imperfect bodies that
we also have these brains that are
absolutely imperfect.
Having a mental disease is like
being sick. When you are sick your
body lets you know by giving you
signs. If you have a cold, a runny
nose and perhaps a fever clue you
into this. You know you are sick
and you take medicine or get help

He chose to bring students from Copper Hills because its demographics make up one of the biggest high schools and one of the biggest
sites to low income and first generation diverse populations in Utah.
It took an army of vehicles to pick all the students from West Jordan and bring them to Price and back. A 50-passenger bus, two mini
busses and even some smaller vans were used to transport students.
Diaz is excited over the new recruiting concept. He said, Surveys
were distributed to each student who took part in the experience and
we received an overwhelming positive response. Counselors said we
set the bar and so far, no college has met that bar. What they enjoyed
most apparently was the interaction with our student leaders.
He hopes to continue to bring more students to campus with Hunter
and Granger high schools already planning to attend. Plus the list
could go on as he hopes Mountain View, Pleasant Grove and many
other high schools will follow.

adding a final victory for the Golden

fall and both coaches and players are
satisfied with the results of the team
thus far and are looking forward to

recent years, the team has broken into
two teams among themselves to play

Kobe Bryant, one of the 50 greatest players of all time, is back at full strength. One
of the most lethal scorers and all-around
players to ever play the game is back and
ready to go to work.
Bryant missed 59 games in the 2014
NBA season due to an injury to his tibia,
just after recovering from a torn Achilles
suffered in the 2012-2013 season. Bryant is
a warrior on the court and considered one
of, if not the most, competitive player in the
NBA. He trails Michael Jordan for career
points by 592. This season could be the last
for the Black Mamba but he wont go down
without a fight.
There was a story told by one of Kobe
Bryants trainers. The trainer told Kobe during practice that if Bryant needed anything
or wanted to work out, he should call him.
So that night at about 3:30 a.m., the trainers
phone rang. Bryant wanted to get a workout in.
When the trainer arrived at the gym, Bryant
was already dripping with sweat from doing
dribbling drills. This was at 4:30 a.m. After
a couple hours of extensive conditioning
drills and some weight lifting, the trainer
left. Before leaving, the trainer asked Bryant
how much longer he would be in the gym.
Bryant responded by telling him he wanted
to get some shots up, then he would leave.
The trainer went back home and crashed
on the couch, tired from the early morning
workout. When team practice time came at
1 p.m., the trainer went back to the gym. He
walked in and saw Bryant shooting on one
of the hoops. He went over and told Bryant
good job in the workout that morning and
asked him what time he ended up finishing
his shooting workout. Bryant responded that
he was just about to finish. He wanted to get
800 makes and he was just finishing.
Bryant is one of the hardest working
athletes on the planet. Some count him out
this season because of his age, 36, and past
injuries. If anyone can come back from a
serious injury, its Bryant. The man is an
animal. As a kid, I never liked Bryant, but
over the years I have come to respect him as
a player. His game is freakishly similar to
Jordans, the best player of all time, and his
work ethic is legendary. Writers and reporters from Sports Illustrated and SLAM
magazine said that before the USA mens
team practices, it wasnt uncommon to see
Lebron James joking around on one end
of the court, meanwhile Bryant was on the
other end already sweaty and putting up his
1000th shot for the day.
Bryants Los Angeles Lakers are in the
process of rebuilding this year and many
wonder if Bryant will be able to bear the
load that he no doubt will be put on his
shoulders. The Lakers are not considered
to be even close to contenders for the title
this season, but knowing Bryant he will do
all in his power to win basketball games and
make a play off push.
Bryant studies the
game, he watches
hours and hours of
game film to fine tune
his actions on the
court. Bryant may
be old, but he will still
be effective.
