Anything else you would like us to know?: Hello, My name is Blanca, and I am the creator of the @firstgensurvivalguide Instagram page! I’m a First Gen Transfer Student. I currently attend CSUF, and I transferred from Fullerton College. I created a space where First Gen Students like myself can connect and collaborate. As a First Gen Student, I needed support in various components, and the biggest one was COMMUNITY! I needed to be around others who understood and could relate to me. I needed to be seen and heard, so I found my community and have been growing it by building solid networks that will last beyond my college experience.
Thank you Blanca for sharing space with us!
