Product Description If we can do it, so can you! That's the message sent to students in this advice book, written with college students who were the first in their families to go past high school. It's tough to aim for college if other family members have not--so this book offers the kind of encouraging, practical guidance that an older sibling would give. Inspiring stories of the diverse student contributors--who end up at institutions from community colleges to elite universities--combined with warm and well-organized counsel and checklists.

Fantastically helpful book for College access workers & college-bound students January 6, 2006 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is a bible for college preparatory services! All of our Americorps VISTA members took this book home for the holidays as part of their ongoing training as college access facilitators. There is really nothing else like this out there--there are tons of reports, but nothing else with faces, names, and the emotional resonance of First in the Family.
