[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A kid who makes really good grades while having to watch his 3 younger siblings because his single mom works at a fast food restaurant displays sooo much more grit, growth mentality, leadership ability, and resilience than a coddled UMC kid who never has to do chores because the cleaners handle it for them, paid tutors to correct their homework errors, and a parent who helps edit their essays. [/quote] Exactly! Not to mention, the UMC kid will do well no matter where they attend. But the first kid, needs help to break out of the family cycle of poverty and low wage jobs with not much chance for advancement. That one kid getting a break can help the entire family, and their relatives---it will help other cousins and future generations see that college might be a path to a better life...so they can break the cycle[/quote]
