Hey everyone,
I wanted to start a conversation about the challenges that first-generation college students like me face when transitioning into higher education. Personally, I have found it difficult to juggle my academic responsibilities with the expectations and needs of my family.
For instance, last semester, I had to miss a crucial study session to help my parents with a family emergency, which put me behind in my coursework. It's moments like these that make me realize how tough it can be to navigate college without the same level of support or guidance that some of my peers have.
How do you all manage similar situations? Have you found any strategies that work well for balancing academic demands and family commitments effectively? Let's share our experiences and tips to support each other through this journey!
