Jennifer Miller: Rising Class, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"Making it through the first year of college is tough. Even tougher? Being the first in your family to do it. As the low-income daughter of immigrants, Briani knows she'll face imposter syndrome at her Ivy League college. But the biggest challenges of freshman year are the ones she never saw coming. Conner grew up shouldering extra responsibility and can't wait for more independence. But 1, 200 miles away from his mom, brother, and girlfriend, he feels more tied to them than ever. Jacklynn decided to attend community college and live at home. Soon, though, she's balancing school with a stressful job and life-altering family events. Rising Class follows Briani, Conner, Jacklynn, and their friends as they experience not only their first year of college but the COVID-19 pandemic, which turned the world upside down. Eye-opening and poignant, it is a heartening true story that speaks to new beginnings, coming of age, and perseverance in the face of unparalleled challenges."--Page 4 of cover.
