[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 815825, member: 844"] Congrats to you and I am being sincere. I did not say it was impossible, just that it is highly unlikely based on a decade of being around young people. I am also aware that I was dealt a good hand (not a perfect one or one without its own unique set of challenges mind you) and fully recognize that I did my share to build upon that foundation. There are many stories of people who were given the head start in life and squandered their oppportunities. But looking back at myself and choices I made as a youth/teenager, I really don't think I was one who was innately wired for success. I don't want to speculate or make assumptions, but I am guessing that, as educators, your attendance at school and academic performance weren't solely left up to you. And with two college educated parents (however dysfunctional) you didn't have to worry about food and shelter. Again, it is dangerous to make assumptions and if I am wrong, please forgive me and also understand that you have my greatest respect as being in that small tip of the iceberg that can overcome dire circumstances in your early life.
