Many students delayed college because of the pandemic. Here's what some of them did instead:
by the government after it went viral. “When I did research, there weren't many sources on her in English,” Molina said. “Right now, I can’t read most of them because my Chinese is so limited. My hope is to be able to read them.” This fall, Molina plans to balance environmental studies and Mandarin classes on the Bowdoin campus.
To start, Desantiago bought six chickens. “I’m tired of technology and I wanted to be around more living creatures,” Desantiago said. “There are so many of them. The fluffy ones. The giant ones. The tiny ones. Or the duck or the geese.”She’s now raising 12 chickens. She also babysits for extra income and cares for her three younger siblings, helping them with remote schoolwork. “It can be chaotic. Sometimes I’m in meetings, and I hear them screaming or crying,” Desantiago said.
First-generation students like Desantiago, Molina, and Celeste Carrasco faced unique challenges during the pandemic, split between family expectations and their academic future. Carrasco, 19, never expected to take a gap year, but ultimately delayed her freshman year at Harvard University, where she plans to study mechanical engineering or computer science.. “I come from an under-resourced high school and I’m a first-generation and low-income student.
The gap year also meant more family time. Carrasco lived in Honduras, away from her parents, for most of her childhood. “I have been with my family since 2014 when I came here, so spending time with them is very important,” she said. But her parents worried that a gap year would place Carrasco behind. “But behind what? Or who?” Carrasco said. “ This is not a competition with all these people. This is about you and what works for you.
