[quote=Anonymous]I was a financial aid kid at a wealthy school 25 years ago. I got picked on in elementary school, but by high school I was a strong kid with my own quirky set of friends. Because neither of my parents went to college but I was getting a great education, I was accepted into HYP. I had a strong family, and not having stuff that other people had made me want to work hard and move up. There was hardship -- I worked summers when most of my friends didn't, the teasing in the lower grades because of my clothes etc. might have broken a different kind of kid (then again, schools are better about stopping teasing now I think) -- but all in all this was a really great way to grow up. It made me pretty resilient.[/quote]
