<p>Nah, you’re definitely not the only “poor” one (not poor by conventional means but just compared to the demographics of his site). Grew up (and still living as) as a military brat. You have to move every 3 years which sucks severely. Heh, I went to 4 different middle schools. The high schools are adequate. The high schools are mediocre. Better than a lot of poor, rural southern schools or inner-city schools, but worse than most public schools. The 30% of students here who don’t actually plan on joinig the military usually go to a community college, only a small percentage of the smarter ones attend an in-state school. Out-of-state schools are pretty rare, and attending any top 50 school is almost unheard of.</p>
<p>Life is ok, we never really stuggle to get by. We are better than a lot of people are in this country. But boy, am I incredibly jealous of all the priviledges that a lot of kids here get to enjoy. Even simple things like clubs (our school has none) and honors classes (my school also has none) are things that i have to miss out on.</p>
