Finding my way as a first-generation college student


Video Details

Jonathan thought he'd found his dream college when he was in 10th grade...until he saw that the private university would cost him $250,000. "I couldn't even finish the application." But even after he found a public school that seemed worth it, his family still didn't take his education seriously, and put up roadblocks throughout his application process. Now, he's finally made it to college, and he wants to show other first-generation college students they can make it, too.
