"Being a First Generation student was quite difficult to get used to. After a while
it became a light breeze due to my advisor being supportive and helping as I went
through the process. Additionally, being a first generation student at EMCC hasn't
been the easiest, but my load feels lighter due to the most supportive advising team
and staff here on the Mayhew Campus"

go on my own it put a lot of pressure on me because I'm the first one in my family
to go to college. This idea made it all the more reason for me to succeed."
