RAHI, a Wonderful Experience in Fairbanks

Attending the RAHI program was a wonderful experience which gave me a feeling for college, new friends and more time to play basketball.

RAHI, which stands for Rural Alaska Honor Institute is a summer program that offers college credits to juniors and seniors. The college credits earned in a 15 week semester are squeezed into a seven week program. The program started in 1983 and students have been attending ever since. RAHI has a wonderful teaching and dorm staff that are more than willing to help the students.

While attending the program I had a great opportunity to see how college life really is. Countless hours were spent doing my homework, reading, and studying for tests. Deadlines were set and there were no excuses for late homework. At times it was hard waking up at 7:00 A. M. to prepare myself for my classes which went from 8:00 AM. to 5:00 P.M. on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Tuesdays and Thursdays were a little easier because we got out sometimes as early as 12 noon.

During the lighter days I found myself spending a lot of time with my friends. Friends were always very important in helping me relieve stress and cope with problems. At the end of a long day of college classes, nothing sounded better than to go to my room and sleep, but my friends were there to push me a little and help me out in anything I had trouble with. They were all going through the same experience with me, so they understood. Our most fun times were spent in the malls and playing basketball together.

There were many challenging basketball players who often went to either the recreation center or the outside court. Practically all the guys and some girls went there to challenge one another. Games were set up for teams of five and sometimes three to compete with each other. The RAHI girls had an opportunity to play basketball with the Upward Bound Students. I had a wonderful time playing basketball with the guys. They were always challenging because they said, "Girls can't play." I enjoyed playing basketball throughout the summer.

With the experience at RAHI, I am more eager to attend college. Meeting new friends and the preparation for college were the best things that the program gave me.
