[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m from an immigrant family (2nd generation) and wouldn’t trade our “striver” life for the perks of being more “established”. Everyone has their struggles- they just take on different forms in different milieus. Something l picked up on at my highly selective private college. When my kid went off to their highly selective private college, I warned them that they’ll encounter a lot of privilege there but that doesn’t mean that their own life is lacking or that the privileged “established” classmates’ lives are perfect. [/quote] Agree. I'd add that established people have something to lose, while strivers only have something to gain. There is a HUGE psychological difference between these.[/quote]
