Truth of the matter is that there are countless of people who work twice, thrice as hard as you but will never get the fruit of their labor simply because they don't have the same opportunities and connections.
I'm a "good student" because I've never had to worry about anything else other than studying. I didn't have to get an extra job to pay for tuition, skip meals to save on cash. Many others aren't as lucky.
