When I was in second grade, my dad became permanently disabled. My mom worked part time so she could pay bills while taking care of us 2 kids. With the support of both our parents, my brother & I earned college degrees. I am proud to be and to celebrate #FirstGen!

Thank you for helping me make the connection between transfer students and equity, I don't think I've put the two together before, but I will do this moving forward! #MiHealthyColleges21

What does being #FirstGen mean to me? Fulfilling my potential & the potential my parents saw in me. Breaking barriers & being a trailblazer for/ companion to my first-gen friends, family, and younger brother. Sacrifices. Struggles. All worthwhile. #WCCFirstGen #CelebrateFirstGen
