I'm the first generation
college student in my family,
so I applied everywhere
my senior year
because I knew I wanted
to go to college,
and I remember at our high
school, we would put a list
of names of the names of the
people who got into colleges
and list those schools that
they went to and my name had,
like, ten schools and
I felt so proud.
But I chose UNC Pembroke because
I felt like they cared
about my education and I knew
that I'm from a small town
and that coming here, I could
adapt faster to this atmosphere.
