While I was at UPLIFT, I sawall of these other teens my age who were on fire for God, and so I decided Iwantedwhat they had. Somewhere during my summers at UPLIFT, I decided that this was where I wanted to go to college." - Jami Richardson, freshman During recreational time, several UPLIFTers shoot some hoops.
