Older students and the liberal arts

Frankly speaking, being born in America to a low-class family, particularly if you're a minority, is pretty bleak, in every way.

There's lots of problems in America, and this is definitely one of them. But did you also know that 80% of millionaires in America are first-generation millionaires who got there by climbing up from the middle class, with no inheritance to give them a leg up?

It's only bleak if you are taught that it is bleak, and if you allow that belief to lay out your path before you.
