This article is so relatable as a first gen and I'm so glad it has been published. Most of the second gen college graduates aren't even aware how they are well equiped and priviledged. They also indicate here 70 % of PhD students have a parent with college degree and those parents who have only HS or less only around 5 % of the students.

First Gen

I fucking hate being a first gen student. I have literally met no one else in any of my classes who is a first generational student. It sucks because none of them know what it’s like. I don’t live an academic life,  I’m not an intellectual and they are always shocked to find that I have nothing in common with them, I have no will power to be like them. I never had a proper schedule as a kid, no journal, no academic interests, I didn’t have any musical instruments and I wasn’t reading as much as I should. I’m from an uneducated background, like a family of high school drop outs, and so I’m constantly under pressure to compete with these nerds while being incredibly lonely around my Neanderthal family

Large groups of Parasect are known to sap nutrients from trees until there is none left. If the mushroom is removed from the Parasect, it will quit moving.

I think it is true there is a postdoc shortage, people leave after getting the PhD or they don't even wait for that anymore. I got six postdoc offers last year. I didn't even apply for two of them. They just found me to ask if I could join. That is sort of insane because before the pandemic I was sending applications and people didn't even care to reply the emails. The problem is that I can't afford a postdoc anymore like many other PhD graduates. It costs mentally and financially and getting a tenure is totally up to the connections and kind of a lottery in my home country. So congrats on losing all of us finally.

Paving the Way a Million Miles at a Time

By: Isabel De Los Santos

"Ingredient no. 1: find your goal. Ingredient no.2: know how far you are. Ingredient no. 3: draw a road map. Ingredient no. 4: if you don't know how, learn. Ingredient no. 5: when you think you've made it, you probably have to work harder"- Salvador Hernandez, A Million Miles Away (2023)

In the film, A Million Miles Away (2023), director Alejandra Marquez Abella, from San Luis Potosi, Mexico, tells the story of Jose M Hernandez and how his goal of becoming an astronaut became his reality through hard work and tremendous sacrifices. In telling the story, she uses techniques that are not commonly seen in films such as the warping of some scenes to express defeat, but not surrender, and the use of different camera quality for memorable scenes and the passing of time, such as the scene where Jose and Adela, his partner, are married and later start their family—one of my favorite scenes!

The film explores themes of resilience, determination, community, and Mexican/Mexican-American culture. Jose, like many Mexican-Americans including myself, was born to immigrant parents who came to the United States in hopes of achieving the "American Dream", or at least having a taste of it by earning higher wages compared to in Mexico. The film A Million Miles Away begins with the farewell of Salvador and Julia, Jose's parents, and their children as they leave Mexico to work on Californian farms in hopes of saving enough money to build a house in their hometown in Michoacan, Mexico. Once in the US, Jose has to help his parents work the farms early in the morning then head to school, where he excels in math.

A very important character in Jose's story is his elementary teacher, Ms. Young, who believes in him and in his goal. Because of her, Salvador was convinced to stay in one place instead picking up his family and moving every few months with the harvest, "How can a tree grow fruit when it is being uprooted and replanted every three months?" she asked.

The film fast forwards to Jose finding love, graduating college, and finally resumes when he has his first job as a lab engineer for a federal research facility. Here, he is a minority, and seen as unqualified at the beginning. For example, the secretary assumes Jose to be the new janitor despite him wearing dress clothes like all the other engineers at the facility. Although he is discouraged, he does not give up; in fact he works harder to get what he wants to achieve.

Marquez Abella, expresses storytelling through film in a way that honored Jose's story. She uses iconic Norteña music, and other iconic Mexican/Mexican-American songs that fit the corresponding scene perfectly. There is also a specific scene near the end where Jose is close to accomplishing his goal and has flashbacks to conversations with his loved ones where they are encouraging and motivating him, but this time said characters break the fourth wall and are speaking to the audience. This was clever and moving, it inspires the audience and builds a closer connection with the characters. 

The use of “chapters” throughout the film which follow Salvador’s receta, or recipe, keep the viewer engaged and wanting to take notes–at least it did when I watched it the first, second, and third time. Overall, the movie evokes emotion and awe, furthermore it evoked a personal connection because I share similar experiences with sacrifices, food, music, being Mexican-American, and having closely related goals.

“Who better to leave this planet and dive into the unknown than a migrant farmworker?” - Beto, A Million Miles Away (2023)
