Unfortunately, I never received much guidance about the transition into college due to the fact that I am a first-generation college student coming from an extremely financially unstable home. However, I managed to find my way through my first few semesters, of course with many bumps along the road. Some generously-curved exams and dropped assignments later, I found that my passion was not actually biology but was actually health care and education.…

    During my time in college, I struggled in courses unrelated to my major and earned grades of C’s and D’s.

After my less than stellar performance in those courses, I decided not to pursue a career in medicine. Not following the career path my parents prescribed left me directionless, and unsure of the courses to take, and the career to puruse. I wish I had sought help and advice from my peers, professors, and the administration to guide me in my decisions regarding my coursework and major.…
