As a first-gen do you think about mentorship as being a crucial part of the collegiate experience?&nbsp;For Anthony, it was something he didn't really think about until he got to graduate school. Now he is an advocate for mentorship and even virtual mentorship.&nbsp;We also talk about how important emails can be, how to make social media work for you, and how important it is to always be learning.

Spring 2020: Session 97 (How to Be Patient and Resilient with Angelika Johnson)

The First-Gen Lounge, an award-winning podcast, is the&nbsp;FIRST show of its kind and #1 in the world for first-generation scholars and professionals. It is a place where we come to kick it and talk honestly about all things life. You’ll cry. You’ll laugh. You’ll grow… and you’ll be inspired while listening to motivating stories and valuable lessons from fellow first-gens. In every session, you’re going to get practical strategies for becoming the best version of yourself. From entrepreneurship, mentorship, graduate school advice, boosting productivity, finances, networking, facing adversity, and changing the world around you—we chat about it all (you can expect quite a few laughs, too)! More importantly, here YOU WILL find a strong community that will encourage you to keep growing each day—we’re people who break barriers and defy the odds but understand there is still much ahead of us; therefore, leaning on, and learning from, each other is what we do. So, go ahead and grab a seat, get real comfortable, and join the conversations every Thursday at 9pm EST! Learn more at www.thefirstgenlounge.com. #TheFirstGenLounge Hosted on Acast.
