There wasn\u2019t any doubt that I would go to college one day. Learning was my pass time. My passion. The sheer idea that I would someday be able to attend an institution dedicated to acquiring knowledge was like a dream come true. I couldn\u2019t wait! But, honestly, if I was being completely truthful,\u00a0that wasn\u2019t the full reason of why I wanted to go to college. After all, I could see right in front of me just how much more difficult life is for those who don\u2019t have a degree. I didn\u2019t want that life. I wanted something better.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But unfortunately, the world of academia is difficult to navigate if you have no one to turn to. I couldn\u2019t ask my mom what campus life was like. I couldn\u2019t ask her how hard college courses were. I couldn\u2019t even ask her how and where to apply for the scholarships which we desperately needed me to get. She never went through any of that. Even simply applying to college was a challenge on its own. I had no idea what the SAT or ACT was. I didn\u2019t know which colleges to apply to nor how to choose a major. And, I especially had no idea of what criteria\u00a0universities wanted to see in their applicants, nor any way to know how to prepare. Again, I couldn\u2019t ask my family. I was the first person to go through any of these things. There was no one to ask and no one who could relate.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Though I did survive college, it was difficult. Coming in, I thought college was no more than taking classes and getting good grades. Like high school, but more advanced. But, my na\u00efve notion was quickly shattered when I learned from my peers (those who had guidance) that college was more than that. There were internships that I could apply to. There was research I could participate in. There were opportunities that allowed me to pursue my interests and build my resume. These are things I would have otherwise not known about because no one felt the need to share them with me. So, I was left scrambling, trying to figure out all this\u00a0new information that was given to me, because if I didn\u2019t, I feared\u00a0falling too far behind. After all, I was already at a disadvantage.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But, if I thought navigating undergrad was difficult, nothing and no one (heh, literally) could have prepared me for grad school. Never mind that I knew nothing about the GRE or its subject tests, but even just figuring out\u00a0where to apply or if I could even afford a graduate degree (because how was I supposed to know that\u00a0STEM PhDs get waived tuition) was a whole other monster I was forced to deal with alone. Not to mention that\u00a0grad school terminology<\/a>\u00a0such as assistantship, dissertation, fellowship, candidacy\u2026 those things simply were not in mine nor my family\u2019s vocabularies. So, instead of asking the right questions that would help me prepare for grad school (i.e. What should I look for in a mentor? How tough was the transition to grad school? What did you wish you knew before starting your program?), I instead had to rely on hours of panicked Google searching in order to\u00a0even touch just the\u00a0surface of this knowledge that I was never privileged to get.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Being a first generation college\/grad student is a triumph. It is something worthy of praise. People say how smart we must be because we made it\u2026 made something of ourselves.\u00a0But, ignoring all the racial stereotypes that flow out of these so called praises,\u00a0no one seems to realize just how difficult our journey has been from the very beginning. We may have made it, but how many benefits were we unaware of\u00a0because we were scrambling to figure everything out\u00a0last minute? How many opportunities did we find out about a little too late because no one\u00a0thought we might need to know? If I got a dollar for every time\u00a0I\u2019ve uttered the phrase \u201cI wish I\u2019d known that sooner,\u201d well, let\u2019s just say I wouldn\u2019t have any student loans.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I could go on and on about the struggles that I went through, and still am going through, as a first generation college and grad student. I could cite the numerous statistics that I know all too well. I can even go into the disadvantages we have due to our high likelihood of being\u00a0minorities from poor socioeconomic backgrounds. But that\u2019s not really the point. The point of this post is two-fold. First, I wanted to bring awareness to this issue\u00a0that many choose to ignore. To make\u00a0someone\u00a0think about this issue, even just for a second. I also hope that if someone out there can relate to anything I\u2019ve talked about thus far,\u00a0that they realize that\u00a0they\u2019re\u00a0not alone and, though trying at times, it is possible to make it through.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If any first generation students need help in navigating the crazy halls of academia, please\u00a0feel free to\u00a0ask\u00a0me<\/a>\u00a0any questions you might have. College and grad school are hard enough. However, they\u2019re infinitely harder when you don\u2019t have any guidance to begin with. I would be honored to help any one of you out, even in the smallest way possible. After all, us\u00a0first-gens need to stick together.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Best of luck to all of you!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
