"Being a First Generation student was quite difficult to get used to. After a while
it became a light breeze due to my advisor being supportive and helping as I went
through the process. Additionally, being a first generation student at EMCC hasn't
been the easiest, but my load feels lighter due to the most supportive advising team
and staff here on the Mayhew Campus"
