When hearing about problems inside most of the class rooms in this day and age, what is the most common issue that is brought to everyone’s attention?
As I look back on my journey to college, I faced many different problems and disadvantages even before taking my first steps on campus. In Linda Banks-Santilli’s “Guilt is one of the biggest struggles first-generation college students face” many first generation students view being the first one in the family as a major flaw before entering college (Banks-Santilli, 2015, Par. 4 &7). The lack of self-respect makes it difficult for students to achieve success without help or motivation. The students have to change their viewpoint about being the first to go to college in their family as a weakness and make it a strength to help motivate them to be better students.
Being a first-generation college student consistently differentiates me from my academic community. Most of the students in my AP courses are very knowledgeable about their intended college because of their parents’ collegiate backgrounds. Since neither of my parents attended college, I didn’t even know there were applications and reviewing processes until 10th grade. Being a first-generation college student is a very interesting journey; you are forced to discover things yourself through exploration while maximizing every resource you have. After learning the power a diploma from a good institution carried, attending a successful university that met my interests became my primary goal.

Have you ever wondered why there cannot be more hours in the day to do any work? As a sophomore at FHS I believe everyday is a battle against the clock to finish all my assignments before very intimidating deadlines and due dates. “According to an article published in the US News, “Schools are giving too much homework, high school students are getting up to 17.5 hours of homework a week and teacher are expecting students to get it all done in one night.” (letters2president.org).

My mother and father have always wanted the best for me, like all good parents do. One of the many things that they expect from me is to receive a college education, something that they never had the chance to do. My parents always advise me to not to make the same mistakes as they did, to go to college so I can get a good job and not have to struggle in my life. With no alternative, my father had to drop out of school to help his family financially after his parents had gotten a divorce, and then he had received his GED.

My first day of high school as a freshmen in a new level of education Is what I was thinking when I woke from slumber that morning in bed. Stepping foot on the campus wasn’t even the beginning, taking the school bus in the morning is where the first taste of being a freshmen and actually starting and being an high school student.
