As someone who grew up as a middle-class on a third world country, I can say that life is a full-time competition for me. Since I was little, it was drilled in my head to strive to be the best to get ahead in life.
A little mistake here and there would cost you your entire future. I can only watch in env as other people waste their time in school without care relying on the wealth and influence of their parents.
I really thank all of those who contribute to make the internet possible. Without it, perhaps I would give up my dream of someday having a good life. With social.media and other sites like YouTube, I would never learn more than what my books in school have.
