It's National First-Generation College Student Day! If you navigated college apps (and fees!), university stress, maybe even grad school all while having to make up stories that explain what you're doing to family, I see you. I'm proud of you, and I'm happy to talk. #FirstGenDocs

This #firstgen student became a professor. Had it not been for my community, faculty, & staff who took time to invest in me, I don’t know where I’d be.
Happy National First-Generation College Student Day to my first-gen kin! #FirstGenDocs #CelebrateFirstGen

I graduated med school this past weekend. Feel like I’m on cloud 9. My parents grew up in Mexico and dropped out of HS. They pushed themselves and got their GEDs, and always pushed us to have better opportunities than they did. I’ll forever be grateful for them ❤️ #Latinasinmed
