Just because you come from a low income family doesn't mean you can't pull yourself up by the bootstraps.

Even in some poor parenting families , some kids go on to succeed despite that fact.
That's quite true.

Historically this part of the world has always been a low income area.

Ninety years ago children were educated for a lesser amount of time than today, but were more literate, and many had a desire to continue their education, either by attending night schools, or just plain reading. Which was hard to do when you've worked a ten hour shift.
