I decided to attend the Bureau of Manhattan Community College to build up my academic skills before eventually transferring to City College.
That person suggested I apply to Blackstone's LaunchPad, which gives first-generation college students a chance to experience corporate life through an internship.
Before this internship, I had no corporate experience, but now I feel confident because I've succeeded at such a big firm with a good reputation.
AdvertisementHere's how I went from being the first person in my family to apply to college shortly after moving to the US to an internship at Blackstone in just a few short years.
He referred me to a campus recruiter from Blackstone and also told me about the LaunchPad internship.
