First-Generation Faculty Advice

• Be persistent.  Things tend to get easier with practice.
  
  
• Take comfort in knowing that you’re not alone. Many of your UHD professors were FGS, so are many of the staff and your fellow students.
  
  
• Think carefully about the things that are most important to you; give your time, energy, and attention to them. Seek to balance competing priorities. Avoid unnecessary distractions.
  
  
• Work hard. Get help when you need it. Learn everything you can in each class. The grades will follow.
  
  
• Give what you can to help and uplift those around you.
  
  
• Protect your health. Be happy.
