 Being a first generation student, I didn't have much guidance when it came to applying for college. I didn't know what resources to use. So many sources are available in a technical college, which I didn't expect. It means a lot to me because I know that my mom, she works constantly, so getting my college degree means that I'm taking a step forward for not just me, but for my family as well. Creating that new generation for the generations to come after me. She motivates me to do the same and she just wants me to do great and do better than her and I'm making myself and her proud.
