我记得我和父母坐在一起，列出了我想申请的学校名单. 尽管他们俩都没上过大学，我还是感受到了他们的支持. They wanted what was best for me, and if this was the path I decided to take, they were determined to help "figure it out."
我很自豪能成为家里第一个上大学的人, 但我也亲身体验过第一代学生在录取过程中面临的挑战. I hope this p年龄 is helpful to you, but if you have any questions during your journey, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Admissions Department. That’s what we’re here for!
