Catching up with a first-gen college student in his first year

“I’ve learned a lot about myself as a student,” Sandoval said.  “I feel like it’s gotten easier outside of school which has allowed me to control my stress and be more productive as a student in class.”
Sandoval is a first-generation college student who graduated last year from North High School where he was the senior class president.  Now, he’s a freshman at the Denver campus and recently changed his major from public service to communications. 
He said he’s taking 15 hours of classes remotely, working 20 hours a week as a barista and helping his girlfriend babysit.  Sandoval said his biggest battle was time management his first semester but was dedicated to getting his degree. It was a journey that was partly motivated by his older brother, Eric.
