I was never prepared for technology to be our main contact when entering university. As a first generation student it was hard to get through with choosing classes all online without no in person orientation. -
As a first generation student I was excited to meet new people and classmates in person. The only communication I had with my peers were through zoom in breakout rooms. This was something I wasn’t used to because I was used to collaborating in person. This was new to me. -
There were moments where we were able to access campus. They slowly started to let us attend class in person with a mask. The only problem is that I was always so lost. I relied on technology, gps to get around because I didn’t know how to get to my classes since I was only for my whole freshman year. -
There were times where I needed help in school. I struggled with my papers sometimes. I had to receive tutoring online, this was me relying to zoom and technology to get help in my coursework. -
By this time I was so used to technology that when classes slowly started being in person and the moment came to collaborate in person I was so nervous. I relied on technology for so long that when they tried to take it away slowly I was terrified.
