<p>Hey Buddy I’m poor too and I’m 2nd generation American how sad is that! Neither of my parent’s own a home, and my dad works under the table so he doesn’t have to pay child support, after 35 years of construction he still doesn’t have **** to show for it. I’d say your poor and I feel for you I really do I know how hard it can be, but keep your head up you’ve worked your ass off through high school and now your looking at enrolling in prestigious schools such as Dartmouth! What a blessing your parent’s must be proud.</p>
<p>My advice to you is write a phenomenal essay about your upbringing, turn your disadvantages into advantages. Take a grant/scholarship work shop class at your local community college and see what kind of money you can bring in. There is all kinds of money out there for kids in your situation, you have a great story to tell, do your research and you’ll be fine. Good luck to you:)</p>
