While everyone is anticipating the latest comebacks and releases, I'm out here digging for 1st Gen K-Pop gold 🪙 @jemmesedi and I were talking about "Dreams Come True" which was covered by aespa in 2022. He enlightened me that this song was previously performed by SES in the late 90's. I had to look up that version and of course it's amazing. Such a hooky song, with great vocals and that awesome synth line.
To all who remember the real struggles and near-misses of earning a degree, as #firstgen, a gender minority of color, or striving to live in the very city you hope to work in.

This can be a great strategy to retool for your future--especially if you live in a state like New Mexico that takes educating a large proportion of #FirstGen college attendees as a serious priority, with in-state tuition almost A THIRD OF this article's stated average--which can often be reduced TO ZERO through state grants & financial assistance specifically aimed at helping these populations.
At these states' flagship institutions--like The University of New Mexico--the realities the article mentions of juggling work ,school, and home life are mitigated through widespread availability of classes online--but still taught by the same faculty you'd have on campus--and timed to fit your schedule. And through a campus culture and a faculty that honors the struggles you make, to make a better future.
Whether you're a new aspiring #undergraduate or an experienced professional with ANY technical degree contemplating a return to #GradSchool--like countless Soldiers I've mentored in the four decades since my OWN military career began--accredited programs like UNM Organization, Information & Learning Sciences (OILS), with degree & certificates from the bachelors to the Ph.D., can equip you with the evidence-based tools & methods at the intersection of recruiting, training, HR, and analytics, to design, lead, and evaluate the workforce readiness programs for your current organization, or charting an entirely new path.
What are you waiting for...?

Unpopular opinion? Being a first-gen also means you spend an evening with your family and you completely forget what academia even is. And you love every second of it.
(keine Ahnung, ob ich bürgerlich bin. mein Vater ist Automechaniker, meine Mutter alleinerziehend und Arzthelferin; aber ich finde, in nem großen Haus aufzuwachsen usw. ist schon so weit weg von #Arbeiterkind - no.
und ob ich #firstgen bin, weiß ich auch nicht, wenn der Bruder meiner Mutter schon studierte, und Finanzbeamter ist.)
FirstGen Success Stories: Studierende berichten über ihren Weg 🎥
In Deutschland hängt der Bildungsweg oft von der sozialen Herkunft ab – und genau hier setzt das Projekt „FirstGen Success Stories“ der Fakultät 4 der #UniStuttgart an.
Studierende, die als Erste in ihrer Familie studieren (abgekürzt FirstGens), erzählen in einem Video von ihren Herausforderungen, aber geben auch Tipps an andere FirstGens.
➡ Hier das ganze Video anschauen: https://youtu.be/9uHUMAfdceI 📺
