THEIR FAMILY TO GO TO COLLEGE.
THE UNIVERSITY HELD ITS
INAUGURAL FIRST GENERATION
STUDENT DAY THIS AFTERNOON IN
PHILIPPI.
FIRST GENERATION STUDENTS SIGNED
A BANNER IN THEIR HONOR AND THEY
WERE ALSO
ABLE TO SEND OUT A SPECIAL POST
CARD RECOGNIZING THEIR
ACHIEVEMENTS.
ORGANIZERS SAY IT'S IMPORTANT TO
SHOW SUPPORT FOR THOSE WHO ARE
STARTING A FAMILY
TRADITION ON THEIR VERY OWN.
Megan Avery - "They don't maybe
have the background where Mom
and Dad knew or knows how to do
FASFA
because they did it.
These students are doing it all
by themselves for the very fist
time and that's a scary thing
but its really important to
encourage them and push them
along and let them know they can
do it."
ALEX AVERY SAYS THE
UNIVERSITY WOULD LIKE
TO MAKE FIRST GEN DAY AN ANNUAL
EVENT.
ALEX Scott's here with a
final look at your forecast.
