Many parents work super hard to scrape up enough money to send their children to expensive schools. They hope that providing their kids with an excellent education will help them achieve the American Dream.
But it can be really tough for kids who don't come from money to fit in and feel comfortable at rich schools.
Maybe you took instant ramen to microwave at school while your friends bought expensive sushi in the cafeteria, and you were always embarrassed about it.
Perhaps you missed out on big events like dances and field trips because your parents couldn't afford them, and you felt left out when everyone in class would talk about how fun those days were.
Or maybe you had trouble making friends because everyone at your high school drove fancy cars and had big houses, so you didn't want to invite anyone to your apartment where you shared a room with your sibling.
