    Tutors if any, being able to afford to live in an area with good school districts, or having the presence of mind to stay in a good district. Ability to care for you during critical stages in your early development which heavily impact your future academic success. Recognizing the value of academic achievement, higher education and such and not demanding you work for your family's welfare.

    The family safety net allows you to pursue a higher risk/reward route that most. If you had to provide for your parents, their other children.

    Being simply born into a family that recognizes the advantages brought by education and being raised by parents who had time to treat you as child and not a burden has a huge impact on your development.

    So just starting on the second step doesn't mean you'll climb the stairs, this is fair, right?

  3. Nevermind, I see where this is going.
