Lakhia Fuller, MS: Being a first-generation student is a badge of pride that I wear. I am very glad to be able to be the first person in my family doing this and setting the tone for other people and setting a path for them to follow, but it is also a burden at the same time. Being the blueprint is incredibly difficult because the experiences I am having I can't call my family and talk to them about.
