I am the First
I am a first generation college student.
There is a hidden curriculum that I am failing.
No one to guide me, I am left to discover the university life alone.
I must follow my own lead
I must make my family proud.
Each step is a step closer to success
I am hungry
Ready to attack
I will show them all
The mask placed on first generation students will be ripped off
This poem is about:
Me
My family
My community
