Lessons Learned

I am joined by Viviana Favela, Alejandro Hernandez and Amanda Garcia on episode four. On the episode, we dive deep into the thoughts and feelings first-generation students experience when they ask themselves, "am I good enough"? All three guests shared their personal stories on what it is like to navigate a university, while at times, feeling as though they do not belong. 

I am joined by Angelica Gomez and Miranda Quinn, both who have taken an alternative path while on their educational journey. Angelica is a Community Psychology major while Miranda is a DePaul double demon and TRiO staff member. On this episode, we dive into the challenges and barriers faced by "non-traditional" students.

I am joined by Natalie Perez, a sophomore majoring in International Studies and a minor in Public Law/Political Thought. In this episode, we explore the family expectations Natalie has experiences as a first-generation student; living a double life, learning to set boundaries and having open communication.

I am joined my Arianna Ferniza, a sophmore studying Public Relations & Advertising. In this episode, we touch on how Arianna has developed her network and how she first began finding her person who will support her during her college experience.
