Many many kids don't even recognize that it's "possible" for them to even "go" to college. I didn't think it possible for me to go until I was in the middle of the 11th grade and an outreach student from UCLA took us on a trip across town to the campus and showed us around. I thought I was too stupid to go to college until then. I thought that was for people other than me. I got good grades too. We sat in on a gigantic math class that was studying Trig and so was I at Washington High. The college students were stumped by something the teacher was trying to express. I raised my hand and answered the question. From that moment on.... it was ON.
