What does it mean to you to be a first-generation student/graduate?
It means determination, and forging a path that means little to no help.
Why is being a first-generation student/graduate important to you?
It’s important to me because there were a lot of people in my past that didn’t believe I could achieve what I am doing currently.
What piece of advice would you give to first-generation students?
Never give up, even if it is super cliché. I would say to try and find as many resources that are helpful as possible. And don’t give up if you don’t get the answer you’re looking for, because chances are there is another person who will help you.
