Raised in a violent home, mother killed in a car accident right in front of me. Less than a year after accident, dad abandons me and younger sibs because he needs a woman. Dad and step-mom feed but abandon me and sibs. One of my siblings landed in prison. I decided to be good to get attention. Worked hard and got good in sports, school etc. Went to college at big time University. Rode my bike (13 miles each way)to University, then job, then home. All grades at University were posted using your social security number only. All classes had hundreds of kids in them. You were a number. I got accepted into grad school...because I busted my ass for grades and became a hermit while studying for entrance exam....I had no money apart from guaranteed student loans-barely covering basics and not all meals, and when money got tight, I hit up dad for a loan($500)...who said nope...so I went for a few days without eating. This college washed out half of my class by the time we graduated. No job(couldn't have one in this college for first year)...no parental financial support (dad: drop out and get a job if you need money). Got lucky and landed high paying job in while grad school(because I had done the necessary min wage preliminary work to get this job)... graduated near top of class. Took a 2 day dream killing state board exam(failure rate was 40% depending on who you asked). I now make 6 figures. Somebody owes me some white privilege(s).
