Always remember where you came from and never forget the sacrifices others have done for you to achieve your goals in life. College is only the beginning of your journey. And if your are the first one to attend college, do not fear, instead be proud of where you are at and are heading. Advice for parents: The support of parents for their children is by far the most important. Your children motivate themselves with you as part of their motivation. That is why being part of their education since the first day they attend kindergarten is essential. Yes teachers and coaches job is to teach students, but it is the child's choice on how hard they will work in their educational goals. And your support helps them work through.
