Yeah i get, it's a tough situation for many people there but it's also not a dead end. I came from a Chelsea school system that's historically been bad. If you look up "worst school system in MA", Chelsea will always be on the list. My siblings and I all made it out of there and went to college (Boston College, Northeastern, and Bentley College) so there's hope.

My point is, regardless of your situation, if you have the support and motivation from your parents as well as yourself, you'll do well regardless of where you are, type of school system, etc....

They key is to have the care and motivation to make it out.
