<p>I come from a lower middle class (upper lower class might be more accurate since my mother’s wages were cut a couple years ago) family. My mother attended community college, only 1 of her 4 siblings went to a 4-year college, and she was the first of my immediate family to do so (my grandfather could have attended through the GI bill but was able to work using his navy training)</p>
<p>I’m only attending a 4-year college myself through Pell Grants, scholarships, and work study. Our EFC is rather low especially with my grandmother as my mother’s dependent, which is our current situation. I’ve always wondered if I’m just about the poorest person on this site.</p>
