I'll be the first to get a BS in my immediate family (unless my little sister finishes before I do). Have two aunts with associates degrees, my dad didn't go to college, and my mom went for about a year before having to drop out due to being a single working mom. My grandmother's brother-in-law was actually a vet, but I only met him once when I was about 8 years old (though even then I remember trying to read some textbooks he had written

). As far as I know he's the only relative I've had with any advanced degree.
Has it been difficult for you guys being first-generation college students? In my case, I think it definitely had something to do with why I'm now a non-trad student. I didn't have anyone to help and/or convince me to get into a university, so I just went to community college for awhile before dropping out to work. Anyway, it's all worked out for the best now, & I'm proud to be a non-trad, first-gen, pre-vet student!
