<p><span>“As a first-generation college student and American, applying to colleges seemed like a daunting task. Attending college felt like a huge challenge filled with uncertainties and lots of unknowns. I grew up in Seattle and I was ready to leave home. But I wanted to stay close to my family because college was a new experience for all of us. Choosing to attend ³Ô¹ÏÍø—which is only a few hours away—was the perfect balance I needed to gain independence while maintaining the connections and support my family and I valued.”</span></p>
