Abstract
The purpose of my reflection is to demonstrate to other individuals, especially first-generation students, my experience with the college process, along with the obstacles I faced, the doubts, and everything that comes along with being the first person in your family to attend a higher education institution in the United States. In my reflection, I describe the process that I experienced, from the very beginning of high school to the start of my college journey. To finalize my reflection, I leave the reader with three important tips I have learned along the journey: being resilient, not being afraid of new experiences, and finally, trusting yourself. My reflection includes a picture of one of the first trips that we did during our retreat as a cohort, and a recognition paragraph, where I recognize those individuals who have helped me during my journey.
