Everything I was bad at in school was irrelevant in life. Was quite lovely really.

Always a hard question to answer, as the family kinda went hero to zero as i went zero to 18. The world was... harder, i guess. Was raised with oversized expectations which i was expected to easily outdo. Still at it.

It was harder because I lacked social skills but my resilience prevailed. Giving up wasn't an option. Just clawed and scratched my way to where I wanted to be.

Poorer than avg but it was hard exactly as expected, not harder nor easier

Didn’t consider our family as poor growing up but now I look back and yes we were poor like all other families in our area. It was tough when I started on my own but with perseverance , hard work and enough smarts to save money I’ve done well. Thanks to a great upbringing.
