Many of us come from poor families or families with a parent missing
because of death or divorce. That means you just have to shuffle a
bit more, hunt down what you need and the people who are willing to
help you (scholarships, jobs, financial assistance, etc.) If you sit
around and complain about what you don't have and break the law to get
what you think you want, you actually lose out in the long run.
