So was Girl Scouts CEO \u003cstrong>Anna Maria Chavez\u003c/strong>, and so was Grammy Award winner \u003cstrong>John Legend\u003c/strong>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yet, many teens will never find the support and courage to be the first in their families to get a college education. With income inequality on the rise, a growing segment of the U.S. can’t afford the education that would help them close the economic gap. First generation students must blaze a trail on multiple fronts, bucking family tradition at home, feeling out of place on campus, and navigating the complex college application process without a map.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"aside\" style=\"text-align: center\">\n\u003cp>[gallery columns=\"1\" ids=\"6971,6970,6969,6962,6963,7033,7021,7029,7031,6968,6965\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>Roadtrip Nation’s new one-hour special, \u003cstrong>Why Not Us?\u003c/strong>, confronts this national challenge head-on through the experiences of four first-generation college students. Wrestling with issues both internal and external, they hit the road in the Green RV to interview leaders like Howard Schultz, John Legend and Anna Maria Chavez. The wisdom, guidance and hope these mentors offer is invaluable to the Roadtrippers, each of whom has managed to get to college … only to discover that their struggles are far from over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• \u003cstrong>Jasmine\u003c/strong> (20) comes from a tight-knit family in South Carolina. Feeling guilty for pursuing her education, she juggles two jobs in addition to her full-time course work so she can send money home. When she visits her family and sees them having trouble putting food on the table, she says, “I am very doubtful that I’m doing the right thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• \u003cstrong>Felipe\u003c/strong> (24) grew up in an immigrant community in California and is not just the first college graduate in his family, but in his whole apartment complex. “But I’m still confused as to where I should go,” he admits. He shows his parents his degrees and laughs, “De cuatro años para estos pedazos de papel.” (“Four years for these pieces of paper.”)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• \u003cstrong>Jenny\u003c/strong> (19) grew up in Mississippi and lost her mother when she was young. After her father was pulled over three times for drunk driving, her uncle took her in. Struggling to put herself through college, she wonders whether the sacrifice is worth it, and whether she will be able to make a living if she follows her passion and majors in art.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• \u003cstrong>Johnathan\u003c/strong> (20) is a sophomore at the University of Central Florida. Though he thought he wanted to be a doctor when he entered college, now he wants to major in marketing. A lot of people have supported him along the way, however, and he feels as if he has to choose between living up to their expectations and following his own dreams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s an emotional, eye-opening journey for the four Roadtrippers, who learn that “failure” can be deceptive, that helping themselves means helping others, and that above all, they aren’t alone. Reenergized and refocused on their educational goals, the four roadtrippers finally say good-bye to each other and take the next steps toward their own success stories, knowing that students past and present have battled the same doubts and challenges … and won. As Anna Maria Chavez says, “Every social indicator, every economic indicator surrounding me pointed me down a different path. So why me?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Travel from New York to Texas to Arizona to Seattle to hear stories that will inspire students to take their futures into their own hands by asking, “Why \u003cem>not\u003c/em> me?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Media Contact\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nLoureen Ayyoub, \u003ca title=\"blocked::mailto:loureen@roadtripnation.com\" href=\"mailto:loureen@roadtripnation.com\">loureen@roadtripnation.com\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Funding\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Why Not Us?\u003c/strong> is made possibly by the College Board and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Websites and Social Media\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nDownload the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pressroom/wp-content/uploads/sites/63/2015/04/Why-Not-Us-Social-Media-Toolkit.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Social Media Toolkit\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nWebsite: \u003ca href=\"http://roadtripnation.com\" target=\"_blank\">roadtripnation.com\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nEducation Site: \u003ca href=\"http://roadtripnation.org\" target=\"_blank\">roadtripnation.org\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"http://www.twitter.com/RoadtripNation\" target=\"_blank\">twitter.com/RoadtripNation\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/RoadtripNation\" target=\"_blank\">facebook.com/RoadtripNation\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nYouTube: \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/roadtripnation\" target=\"_blank\">youtube.com/roadtripnation\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>About Roadtrip Nation\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roadtrip Nation started in 2001 when three friends fresh out of college weren't sure what to do with their lives. Their solution? To road-trip around the country and ask people who do what they love how they got to where they are today. What started as a road trip sparked an annual documentary series, a number of books, online tools, and an educational organization—all dedicated to helping individuals define their own roads in life. In 2009, Roadtrip Nation expanded into education with the creation of The Roadtrip Nation Experience, a project-based self-discovery curriculum designed to help students explore their identities and find careers aligned with their interests. Today, Roadtrip Nation continues to empower individuals to create meaningful lives doing what they love.

Their solution? To road-trip around the country and ask people who do what they love how they got to where they are today. What started as a road trip sparked an annual documentary series, a number of books, online tools, and an educational organization—all dedicated to helping individuals define their own roads in life. In 2009, Roadtrip Nation expanded into education with the creation of The Roadtrip Nation Experience, a project-based self-discovery curriculum designed to help students explore their identities and find careers aligned with their interests. Today, Roadtrip Nation continues to empower individuals to create meaningful lives doing what they love.
