As a first generation college student my parents always expect the best out of me the reason being is that I’m their first child to get into a university. My parents are from Guatemala and they immigrated to the United States since they believe that their children can live a better life than they did. I personally don’t drink often or at all and I have not had trouble with alcohol.
