This post is for the first-year graduate students who are new to their programs, their institutions, their states. For the students who are first-generation, are underrepresented in the field of higher education, are in a constant battle with imposter syndrome, and are having a hard time finding the light at the end a long first semester. For the students who left home to pursue an educational degree to empower others even when it’s difficult to empower ourselves.
