102. I COME FROM A POOR BACKGROUND ...
Although your financial history is a fact, it should not determine your future. While there are particular difficulties associated with coming from a poor family while going to college, it also gives you vital skills like resilience, resourcefulness, and determination—qualities that many companies admire more than a rich upbringing.
Today’s universities provide students from low-income families with a wealth of resources. Look for financial assistance offices, submit scholarship applications, and do not be afraid to apply for work-study opportunities. These chances are investments society makes in talented people, not giveaways. Furthermore, many accomplished alumni, who are aware of the difficulties you encounter, specifically provide scholarships for students from like circumstances.
Because of your background, you may have to put in more effort than some of your peers, possibly juggling a part-time job and schoolwork or skipping out on social events. Nonetheless, handling several tasks and having to make difficult decisions fosters important life skills that will benefit your future professional endeavours. Instead of allowing your circumstances to confine you, use them as inspiration.
Make an effort to establish a solid network within your academic community. Students that demonstrate initiative and determination are frequently willing to be mentored by numerous accomplished experts from comparable backgrounds. You have a distinct outlook on life, and problem-solving skills that others might not have because of your upbringing. In today’s diverse workplace, where businesses increasingly respect a range of perspectives and experiences, these are invaluable advantages.
We should also not forget, that you could leverage the digital landscape, to earn money and experience.
