They haven’t even started reading the letter and I’m already crying

as a first-generation student myself this made me ugly cry
-
This is the only motivation I need to stop procrastinating. Saved it to my playlists
-
Damn yall got me crying before my final, I was honestly feeling really scared and now I'm just determined to hecharle ganas 😭😭😭

As a first gen college student, having my parents see me graduate with my BA brought me to tears knowing that they sacrificed so much in order for me to be there, this spring, they will watch my graduate with my masters and watch me accomplish even more things than I thought possible 😭 thank you Ama and Apa 🥰🥰

Even though I’m still in high school I still want to make my parents proud by graduating, making it to college and to be something big in this world. To my parents, hardworking immigrants who came here for their children to have a better future, Los quiero mucho🥺💞

As a first gen it’s full of struggles and losing motivation at times. I’m currently feeling like that, but this video helped me remember que me ponga las pilas!! My parents sacrificed a lot for me to be where I’m at. To all my first gens you’re killing it, keep it going. My dad once told me, “ Siendo la primera es difícil, pero con ganas y tus esfuerzos si lo lograrás. Al final ustedes salen aprendiendo más y son de los más chingones💪.” 🇲🇽

I graduated first in my family. My two older sisters didn’t go to college and they had the opportunity. That day was so special. The way my mom and dad looked at me and the special dinner they had for me after. Amazing feeling ever.

I graduated from college .I was the 1st one to accomplish so much in my family but I let it all go when I got shot and was diagnosed with PTSD .My mental struggle has left me paralyzed with fear and I want more in life for me and my family but I'm scared to go outside anymore ,home is where I feel safe .I pray and hope God is not done with me and that my life story is not over yet .I want to reach the stars and give my family everything they ever dreamed of and more .

This Is making me sadder than I already was bc my parents always tell me this and now I failed a class in college and I’m so sad bc I tried really hard and I’ve never failed a class and it feels like I let them down FUCKCKXKCKX
-
Well! I don’t know how any of them got through their letters without busting out sobbing because I would’ve DEFINITELY struggled with ugly cry face. And I mean IMMEDIATELY.
-
I wish I could have made my parents proud. I just was never smart enough for it. As a first generation Chicano, I feel I let them down big time. Their smallest child came out the most depressing...
-
Well now I’m going to have to go back to work from my lunch and explain why I look horrible from crying 😭
-
Thank you for sharing these moments. They help to lighten my heart.

As a first-generation Mexican American. knowing I accomplished this goal of getting my Bsw. makes me stronger I reached my goal. and now onto my MSw. knowing how proud I made my parents and despite all the struggles I succeeded. this will be an example to generations to come.
-
This is so sweet thank you for sharing!
-
Watching these makes me appreciate my big sister who passed 2 years ago. I feel for her kids who won't be able to see her at their special moments in life and it just breaks my heart. I hope I can be this for them.

Graduating is one thing... Finding a job is another thing. Personally, it took me 6 months after graduating from undergrad.
