Low-income kids gotta worry about how they’re going to go about getting an apartment/house, car, or a loan when their parents can’t co-sign them because their credit is bad due to forced debt to be able to make ends meet. Tell me that generational wealth is not systematic.
I guess another way to frame this is that maybe they know that too. And they want to do better this “second-time around”. But Latino parents are hella prideful and will never admit to this.
Latino parents really do everything they didn’t do as parents when they become grandparents. And, that’s a beautiful thing. But, also, it’s just sad. Especially for us kids witnessing the amazing potential our parents had to be good parents and caretakers.
Chicago Booth and @ChicagoScholars are joining forces to create real impact in the Chicagoland area and establish a pipeline for students from low-income or first-generation college-going backgrounds to attend graduate level programs.

I honestly still don’t know what I want to do for the rest of my life. And that’s fine. I’m just exploring and learning about the things I enjoy and the things I don’t. And if finding what I love takes me a few years or a decade or two, so be it…
The announcements on the highways near Chicago are always so out of pocket lol. Just saw one that said “No Valentine? Your seatbelt will hold you.” Whoever is making these deserves a raise😂
Thinking about where I was a year ago, especially my mental, emotional, and physical state. And man, I’ve come a long way. My 25s are going to be full of self-love and healing. Manifesting that!
Stanford Peeps: I’m going to be at the Stanford Career Fair tomorrow recruiting for my company. If you’re looking for a full-time role or internship, visit McMaster-Carr’s booth! Or if you want to simply say hi, you can also stop by lol
The reality is that we will all cherish the experience of going to see one of our favorite bands together in the long-run. They won’t remember the new shoes, purse, or any physical/materialistic thing I would have gifted them. But they sure will remember this experience.
I’ve been trying to instill in my family the importance of experiences over materialistic things. So much that I told my parents I wouldn’t be buying them physical gifts but will be getting them tickets to see Los Enanitos Verdes with me as bday gifts 😂
