Bring a first gen means .. being prepared for a to-do list (e.g.,reviewing old mail for three hours, translating every bill on the planet) from my parents, grandparents, and other non-English speaker relatives when I come home to visit for two days. #firstgenlife πππ₯²π₯²
Daughter of immigrant & refugee parents here, my last shift as a pharmacist was 20 days before I moved for residency. Those last couple shifts paid for my move, all the shifts during med school allowed me to support myself & pay tuition #firstgenlife

Im still an American, though.. I carried the box with my hands and not on my head. #FirstGenLife
I just told my dad I got a Fulbright again, and his response was

I was at a dinner recently where we ended up discussing how far back in your family you have to go before you hit another classicist. No one else got further back than great grandfather. It was really fun when it came to my turn... π¬π #firstgenlife
