I earned a G.E.D. through a community program in Buffalo, New York. I had quit high school in my sophomore year. As a first generation college student I graduated in TRIO Program and went on to get a Masters Degree. Highly recommend TRIO – you can do it!

How do you apply for these services? I am a first generation, mother of a 4 year old crazy toddler. I just recently enrolled back in college after nearly a decade off. And I’m determined to continue on and transfer to a four year University, and hopefully get my degree in natural medicine to help as many people as I can along my path. I come from a low-income family and am low-income myself. Which is why I decided to go back to school. I was a bartender for two decades but the pandemic made my field pretty obsolete. So I wanted to give my son a better life than I had or have and something more stable. Since I lost my job overnight due to the coronavirus.
