[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was the scholarship kid at a private prep school in California. My best friend was a girl whose mom had won the California lottery and sent her to private. [/quote] Same here. I was the scholarship kid of a single Mom at a Catholic school in my smallish town. I did extremely well academically and the peer group elevated my expectations and motivation. I scraped up money for college, graduated, then moved here where I scraped a lot more and now we're worth millions. When I visit my hometown, I can see the path not taken if I hadn't gotten that scholarship money. I'd probably be a twice-divorced hairdresser completing the loop on a cycle of poverty. [/quote]
