I am the First

Sun, 08/30/2015 - 23:42 -- AMungia

I am a first generation college student.

There is a hidden curriculum that I am failing.

No one to guide me, I am left to discover the university life alone.

I must follow my own lead

I must make my family proud.

Each step is a step closer to success

I am hungry

Ready to attack

I will show them all

The mask placed on first generation students will be ripped off
