Do you consider yourself someone who grew up with opportunities?

Tangibles, not many. Intangibles, plenty.
I grew up around gamed up people (uncles, friends older brothers) who created their own opportunities. Their presence and words gave me the opportunity to help me help myself better than I could have without them. They'd (pops included) make/see me work for mine before giving me any extras to support my grind.
....and today I'm real bossy..... nowadays when they see me, they stand proud hahahahahaha ha!!!!! -
My family is well off, but I faced at lot of adversity when I was getting my degrees.
And it is not whether we have opportunities; it is whether we have equal opportunities. Even well-to-do blacks don't have equal opportunities with well-to-do non-blacks -- discrimination, in some more or another, thwarts that. -
My mother remarried, and my step father has changed my life
I believe in eugenics so I wont pass my genes on, but because of the way he changed my life I will probably do the same as him
It's amazing to be able to change someone's life like that
despite what the IC says about with women with kids I would love to be a lawyer and be able to bring a young boy into excellence who would have otherwise been a statistic
I didn't get the best cards but I will help a young man overcome his obstacles in a heart beat -
Yes, and I ? it away, but I got it back again.

I got my self in some legal trouble at a real young age, wich actualy ended up providing me with some direction in life, that most the people I used to run with did not get.

Technology is here to make things a lil better.

My opportunities were limited due to race, ignorance, and class.
But as long as i stayed within the confines those three things can put us in, I could do whatever i want.
I could of had more opportunities had the veil been removed sooner.
