The way college started out for me was not what I was expecting. Within the first month I struggled a lot and is still adjusting to college life. It’s been hard figuring out places for me to eat, study, and to meet new people. I feel pressured being in college because I am a first generation college student and most people that I grew up with didn’t make it this far. Coming from a low income family and living in a bad neighborhood, I didn’t think that college would even be an option for me. The people I grew up around never went and were either in jail or on the streets. Pride got the best of me in high school and not asking for help was a habit of mine but I decided to change that for college. Once I asked for help from my professors I got to know them a little and some have similar stories to mine. But it was an informatics professor who told me that college would be okay and benefit me. I had always chosen to major in media and dreamed of one day becoming a filmmaker and making my own movies. I thought to myself; if they can do it, so can I. #nkustories #humansofgreatercincinnati
