The struggles of being a first generation college student
Lack of financial support
Coming from a low income family
Working a full time job on top of being a full time college student
Lack study skills
Failed two classes
Not understanding the rigor of college courses
Learning to sign up for classes
I did not know what a degree plan was
I did not know how to navigate the website to sign up for classes
Lack of family support
My parents could not help me navigate through college because of their lack of knowledge.
They did not understand the path I was taking.
Culture shock
Diversity
Professor smoking with his students
No knowledge of college or university jargon
Looking up words honors
I had no idea what a sorority was.
Lack of support from my school
I was unaware of the programs available to first gen students
