CALL YOUR PARENTS ✦
first-generation student: someone who is in the first generation of their family to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in the United States.
Sometimes we are so busy growing up that we forget our parents are growing old
THIS PROJECT FOCUSES ON FOSTERING A DEEPER CONNECTION BETWEEN FIRST-GENERATION STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS, AIMING TO HIGHLIGHT THEIR UNIQUE EXPERIENCES.
AS A SECOND-GENERATION FILIPINO-AMERICAN & FIRST-GEN STUDENT, I AIM TO ADDRESS THE LACK OF COMMUNICATION OF PARENTS’ PASTS AND EXPERIENCES, ENCOURAGING OTHER CHILDREN TO CONNECT WITH THEIR PARENTS INTENTIONALLY AND ASK THEM QUESTIONS.
WE SHOULD ALL TRY TO CONNECT MORE DEEPLY WITH OUR PARENTS WHILE WE STILL CAN.
