Where did you attend college?
University of Toronto
What was your college experience like as a first-generation college student?
Tough, sometimes lonely, but rewarding.
What message do you have to share with current first-generation college students?
You will face many challenges with classes, friends, family and finances. Remember that John F. Kennedy said "we don't do things because they are easy, but because they are hard." So resolve to put in the work to succeed, believe in yourself, and you will find success.
