so many professors tockenized me as their “hardworking first generation low income” student. they’d bring me up in class as the perfect example of how universities only use students of colors to meet their diversity numbers.

i don’t even want to calculate the total amount i paid. there were times i’d go from having a couple thousand in my account to $0 bc it all went to my tuition.

I got myself through college. working 3 jobs. full time student with a 4.0 GPA.
thinking about the prof who tockeneized me in his class. head of his department. money at his disposal. he never advocated for me. knowing who i was and my work for the community.
