The easiest thing to do is to do nothing - accept the status quo and resign yourself to your destiny or fate. However, most parents' dream and desire is for their children to do better than they did.
Just because your siblings, mom, dad, or grandparents didn't complete their education doesn't mean you can't. If you sit and talk with them, they might share their reasons why. Generations before didn't have the opportunities you have today. Many of our parents and grandparents didn't have the choices you have. There were families to sustain by providing shelter, food, and safety. You might try to find out what it was like to walk in their shoes.
America is the land of opportunities. What is your tomorrow? Will you give your children better opportunities? Our free enterprise system gives you the right to TRY. Success is never guaranteed, but I can guarantee that the only option to not trying is failure. Millions of people have risked their lives to come to this country for just that opportunity. There are books filled with those names on Ellis Island. Countless have also died attempting the journey - some by land, and some by sea.
Break the cycle. You're worthy. You're entitled.
Pass it on :)
