I was a first-in-family (plus regional and low socioeconomic) uni student. I'm forever grateful for my teachers, who believed in me and made me believe I had as much right to a university education as anyone. They are why I chose a career in public education.

It concerns me that nowadays other shit things like the housing crisis and cost of living could deny would-be first-in-family students these opportunities.
