About
This course helps you understand what it truly means to be a first-generation college student and why your story is a powerful source of strength. You will explore the emotional, cultural, and academic realities many first-gen students face, reflect on the challenges you have already navigated, and recognize the resilience, independence, and problem-solving skills you carry into your college journey. Through examples and guided writing exercises, you will begin to see your background not as a barrier, but as evidence of your determination and potential. By the end, you will have a clearer sense of your identity, your strengths, and the value you bring as a trailblazer in your family and community.
