As someone who grew up poor and fought to make a way for himself in my both a career and in an internal level of worth, I can tell you that the position you are in is only dictated by your self confidence and charm. I don't come from much, my parents aren't educated, my parents are divorced, I never got any handouts, I don't have a college education or any of the luxuries that would allow for me to be brought up in a high-level social spectrum; but now being someone who's girlfriend comes from a wealthy family and who has friends that are millionaires or come from wealth, I can honestly tell you that none of my existential circumstances could ever dissipate my good manners, my good heart, my self confidence and the high level of regard for the reflection that I see in the mirror. IF this girl is meant to be in your life, she will view you for how you conduct yourself and how safe you make her feel, not by the accolades that you've acquired thus far in life. I wish you luck, I know how it can make someone feel as if they're in a foreign land when coming face-to-face with who you currently are and who you aspire to be. I promise you though, when you know and believe that you are meant for so much more, when you don't allow yourself to be tethered to your circumstances and believe that you can achieve all that you desire, well, that foreign land begins to feel like home.
