There are so many factors involved in whether one is successful or not. Many are abused, or have no other family that can help them when they have drug addicted parents. Education is the single most important factor that should be stressed to all kids, especially the ones living in the lowest economic situations. When there isn't anyone who cares about you, it's hard to find a way to care about yourself enough to get out of the projects. And no, there isn't equality of opportunity.
