<p>“Income > 250k”</p>

<p>That’s not a hook, unless you donate millions of dollars to these schools.</p>

<p>Did you possibly type it wrong, since you’re also a first generation college student?</p>

<p>I know its not a hook. I dont know why i put it there, it was just a general statement. and i dont why its so strange for people to be rich and have a first generation college student. my dad was an immigrant who built his business without going to college. and my mom never got a college diploma. its really not that strange…dont make assumptions. @CodeAdam‌ </p>
