She was afraid she choose the wrong school 
She was afraid she didn't have enough money
She was afraid she wouldn't be smart enough  
She was afraid she wouldn't last long
She was afraid she would be wasting hard earn money

She was a afraid

She was afraid she would miss her family to much
She was afraid she would lose her focus  
She was afraid she would be a disappointment 
She was afraid she would fail

She was afraid

She was afraid she wasn't going to be safe 
She was afraid she would change for the worse
She was afraid she wouldn’t be able to handle the pressure 
She was afraid she would crumble under the pressure
She was afraid of all the stress

She was afraid 

She was afraid of being the center of attention
She was afraid of disappointing everyone  
She was afraid of being the role model
She was afraid her parents struggles were for nothing  
She was afraid she wouldn’t find a job

She was afraid of being the first to attend college

I want other first generation college students not to feel alone. It's scary being the first but you need to push through.
