Abstract
In one Upstate New York institution, an introductory mathematics applied course is offered to first year students. The initial course is followed by an algebra and trigonometry class. The qualitative longitudinal study is conducted on the progress of the first-year students of immigrant descent. As some of the students prove a great level of progress in the first year applied mathematics, the second year, the challenges of sustained effort, participation, interest come to forefront. The impact of culture, and grit for students pathway to success are analyzed and interpreted.
