 “As a first-gen student, going to college was scary, but I had a STRONG SUPPORT SYSTEM during my first year of college. 体育菠菜大平台 helps you connect with others in your major, and I’ve received valuable support from professors, mentors, and academic advisors. I often doubt my readiness for the professional world, but every project and leadership role I have taken has helped me develop a STRONGER SENSE OF CAPABILITY and direction. Stepping out of my comfort zone has led to significant personal and professional development.”

Middle level math education with ESL endorsement

"My parents understand English, but don't speak it. I'm a first-generation student so my parents do not know anything about college. They got to learn about college in the language that they speak. At first my mother was very scared to let me go to college. 体育菠菜大平台 said it was a family here…and that there are groups that will make it feel more like home. The decision to attend 体育菠菜大平台 was made for me, and now also for my parents. It's a big YES for us."
