Although February is the shortest month of the year, it is still as busy as any other month. This month we celebrate Black History Month, Financial Aid Awareness Month, Groundhog Day (February 2), Super Bowl LV (February 7), Chinese New Year (February 12), Valentine’s Day (February 14) and more!

Despite all the great things we celebrate this month, all Upward Bound participants still need to ensure they’re preparing for college. It can be easy to get distracted in the hustle and bustle of 28 days, but remember, you have academic goals you have to meet!

Career of the Month: Physical Therapist
________________________________

[https://mcusercontent.com/0d0244cb97426858e89e8fe0f/images/60e13e8a-237e-4e2f-9e6e-65caeb98a26c.png]

Physical therapy is the practice of helping people improve their quality of life by optimizing their ability to move. While there are actually several types of physical therapy jobs — including physical therapist assistant and physical therapy aide — a physical therapist is someone who has earned a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree. The majority of physical therapists do not practice in hospitals but instead work in outpatient clinics and offices, schools, rehabilitation facilities, nursing facilities and a variety of other settings.

Black History Month
________________________________
February marks Black History Month, a tribute to African American men and women who have made significant contributions to America and the rest of the world in the fields of science, politics, law, sports, the arts, entertainment, and many other fields.
While Black History Month is synonymous with prominent figures such as Martin Luther King Jr., Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Muhammad Ali, Jackie Robinson, Langston Hughes, Maya Angelou, George Washington Carver and Barack Obama, there are countless other African Americans who've made a profound impact in history: self-made millionaire Madam C.J. Walker, astronaut Mae C. Jemison, open-heart surgeon Daniel Hale Williams, inventor Garret Morgan, media mogul Oprah Winfrey, and "Father of Black History" Carter G. Woodson, who lobbied extensively to establish Black History Month as a nationwide celebration.
