We have a special episode planned to wrap up this opening season of the First Generation Aggies Podcast. This week we welcome current Texas A&M student, Irvin Ventura, to discuss his new book and topics of mental health, anxiety, and sharing one’s story.

Join Abel and Isaac in Episode 5, the final episode of the semester, on this journey with Irvin and learn how his book came into fruition, advice on managing mental health in college, and what it means to let your old self go.
