As a first generation college student, I have learned everything on my own. I did not have the support that many of my peers had. I had to learn English on my own and navigate the terrors of a U.S school for the first time. That was the beginning of my anxiety path. I had to learn how to navigate through the up and downs of anxiety. Many times I felt like I was not good enough and questioned whether I should continue. I believe that if I had the support of my family when speaking about how I felt my story would be different. I look back now as a twenty-two year old and see the little girl fighting for a grasp of a helping hand. Like me, there are many kids who go through this everyday. Their parents are not educated on how to help or when to know when help is needed. Educating parents about mental health gives the kids a chance to have a conversation about how they are feeling. They will no longer have to suffer alone.
