Big or small, it is a chance to celebrate!
Photo essay by Derrick Galindo
First generation college students are known by their opportunity to be the first to graduate in their family.
With this comes trials and tribulations that they must overcome.
Overcoming these challenges calls for celebration.
Here are some of the moments I got to celebrate with fellow first generation students.
First was a trip to the capital. I got to hear fellow first generation students or graduates tell their tale of challenges and breakthroughs navigating college.
On a more small scale, the first generation club took a trip to a museum.
An especially great trip after our hectic schedules that week.
At the end of the day, no matter how big or small celebrations, they should be cherished.
