Is there any academically successful girl from poor, humble background?

Nuclear families? What? XD haha Margret thatcher came from a humble background, but she's a conservative so I despise her tbh haha

Nuclear families = mum + dad together, 2/3 brothers&sisters.

Thatcher came from rather lower-middle class which is not too bad. She had existential security etc.

I am from such background.

Oh I see, sorry I've never heard of the term but meh you learn something new everyday, you can find this stuff online tbh, however I can say my mum was a single mother who during my childhood studied for a degree and now has a better job and owns a property

There was an Indian peasant once with no education at all of any description who went to Cambridge to read maths.

Hello. I currently study at UCL and just finished my first year now.

I come from absolute poverty by UK standards, never owned a house, raised by a single mum working on very low income, hit hard by austerity measures.

I was wondering whether there are some girls here from humble backgrounds that manage to get by alright despite similar constrains.

So far I have met some Muslim girls who were also from low income background but they were usually from nuclear families with emphasis on religious ethic and hard work.

Would you consider yourself that person?

lol peasant

Hello! Yes, me, I think!

I've also been raised by a single mum, we've been below the poverty line my whole life, I have no formal qualifications (eg GCSEs, A levels) - BUT I have a conditional offer to study physics Masters at Edinburgh University this year! So yes, anything is possible!

Do you really find this amusing? Besides, peasants were a class above proletarians on so many different levels before the haste of industrial revolution.

lol peasant

lol proletarian

lol utter and total cock.

Wow this is amazing, so what did you before getting offer to study physics masters at Edinburgh? Are you UK national or from elsewhere? Are you an ethnic minority here? I say this because if you're below poverty line but you still succeed academically the chances are you come from an ethnic minority background who emphasize the importance of education.
