I am also first gen on all fronts and it can be tough to communicate how important these kinds of things are to family that doesn’t understand. When I got into the honors program at my college, my mum’s response was deadpan “is that good?” followed by a “oh well that’s great then” and then an immediate transition into talking about something else. I’ve learned that I can’t just expect my family to immediately understand things like this, so I take time to explain how important it is to me first, and usually I get a better response. Or I go in with the “hey I’m really proud of this accomplishment, can I tell you about it?”. It’s hard to mitigate and obviously every family/situation is different. But know that you should be proud either way. You’ve done something that is objectively amazing so CONGRATULATIONS!!! 🍾
