Your experience as a first generation college student

<p>If you are a first generation college student, how has college been? </p>

<p>I am the very first person in my family to go to college. I am currently a freshman and the first quarter at my state university this year was a real struggle. I ended up with a 2.6 while taking pre-engineering courses. Now that I have switched to pre-business, I have found something I could handle and have improved my GPA from a 2.6 to a 3.23 (3.79 winter quarter). </p>

<p>What have your experiences been like so far? Thanks.</p>
