Case

Its tough to pin point on "chief case" for my subject. All of the studies I find take mass quantities to compare statistics with the non-FGS. In one article that I found, there is a case study that involves a young female by the name of  Katelyn Bennis who was applying to college. In an interview done, she said it was her mother pulling her back. Linda Banks-Santilli writes in her article "First-generation college students and their pursuit of the American dream" about Bennis' struggles to decide whether going to school or helping her family was the best decision in he young life. In this case, the parents both struggled with an alcohol addiction and both were smokers. It was obvious that the parents were a bit worried about their lives while the young one in the family was away. Bennis went on to explain how moving to her school in Boston was tough, but she knew that this was what she had to do in order to make it in life, and eventually give back to her family.

Of course there are many more different case studies, each dealing with something different. More these will be outlined in the paper, hoping to find a similarity with all of them that can come to the conclusion of how they deal with the obstacles.
