capital that I have from being born to a family that is middle class gives me a distinct advantage over those who have been raised in a family with fewer means than my family have.

Outliers Malcolm Gladwell Analysis

played it: an A in Pre-Ap Language was because “I had an easier teacher than her,” being pulled into Pre-Ap French II was because “the teacher like her and was upset when she dropped after French I,” and--the most reoccurring--every position or award I earned in JROTC was because “I was her little sister.” To most this would’ve made them bitter but I had never been taught to view it that way.
