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 😂😂🥲🥲

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

The duality of being an immigrant - yesterday I matched into my top choice Obgyn residency. Today I'm waiting tables at our restaurant.

Enjoyed getting these photos from my pops, pushing 80. Grass got pulled when we were kids, we played on the concrete, the dirt was for growing #FirstGenLife #GardenMedTwitter #GardenPride

I’m all of my family’s main translator, which makes me their medical interpreter, legal representative, political expert, travel agent, administrative assistant, even a wine connoisseur. Every single day I have a new job! #FirstGenLife

I'm not lying when I say I grew up in a Nigerian house. My mom asked me to help her with the groceries. This is what she meant. 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 “where? For how long?What about medical school interviews” Then when I said I would push back applying one year he was like: “Yea no I don’t think you should do it.” CONGRATS TO ME ��😂 #firstgenlife

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... 😬🙄 #firstgenlife
