Rising Class by Jennifer Miller
Making it through the first year of college is tough. What makes it even tougher is being the first in your family to do so. Who can you turn to when you need advice? Rising Class follows three first-generation freshmen, Briani, Conner, and Jacklynn, as they experience no only their first semester of college, but the COVID-19 pandemic that turned their spring semester upside down. From life in the Ivy League to classes at a community college, readers follow these students' challenges, successes, and dreams as they tackle their first year of college and juggle responsibilities to their families back home. Jennifer Miller writes a compelling eye-opening, and poignant true story that speaks to new beginnings, coming-of-age, and perseverance.
