“Why are you even bothering to go to college? Seriously.” “There’s a party tonight. You have to be there.” One of the obstacles to academic achievement that I face on a regular basis is a lack of support in some areas of my life. Actually, sometimes it isn’t a lack of support that is the problem, but more a pervasive attitude that education isn’t that important or is a waste of time. My coworkers are happy working in retail forever, and good for them, yet seem resentful that I have made my education a priority. At times they seem bound and determined to lure me off track with invitations to parties during exam week or offers of promotions if I cut my course load. At school, many of the students in my community college courses don’t seem to

My worries about college are more in how well I will do in higher level classes and if I’ll be able to help my Family during my time in College. As a First Generation college student, I feel like my family has so much trust and high expectations for me to do well in College and graduate. I don’t feel pressured even if my family does expect a lot from me. I worry about many things like money, time, family, friends, school, and etc. I don’t worry about fitting in because I can get by with only focusing on myself and not caring about what other people think like whether they accept me or not for who I am and who I’m not. I have never had the feeling of not belonging because I’ve gone to schools where the students are not so different from me so we would all understand each other and didn’t care if someone was poor or rich, we respected and treated each other fairly. Up until High School I worry that the transition to college will be a bit challenging but nothing that I can’t handle.

Organization is the key to being successful in college. As a freshman, I struggled with mastering this skill, but throughout my years in college I would say that I have perfected it. One can assume, that if I had not mastered the skill of organization I would not currently have a 4.0 GPA. Along with my full time college schedule I have other responsibilities which sometimes make it hard for me to maintain my organization. However, through the use of successful time management I have been able to maintain all of my current responsibilities. My current level of responsibilities includes an internship, a part-time job, and a full time school schedule. I attend my social work classes at the University of Wisconsin Green- Bay every Tuesday and Thursday

I want to be your future generation, to make a change on your college, I want to make the difference in all those young adults that think that they cannot do things because they are afraid that someday their education would just be taken away on a day they do not even expect it. I want to enter the medical field with my head up with my grades at the top and lift them up as much as I can so one day I can be educating your children or your family members. My family is all I have in my life at this point , I come from a small town called Tuxtepec, Oaxaca, Mexico.

In the current state of our society, the most financially satisfying jobs typically require a college degree. This becomes a problem to an individual if they choose not to attend college and try to enter the workforce right out of high school, or attend college only to later decide it is not working for them and, consequently, end up dropping out of college, possibly accumulating thousands of dollars in student loan debts but no degree. Rewind back one generation, to the parents faced with the choice of whether or not to attend college, and it is very unlikely that they are planning their future family at this point, let alone how their level of education will affect their children – the children of this generation who are now being
