Unfortunately when you travel into the city, most of the schools are full of poor black kids who can't afford tuition to a university, or their teachers have unfortunately taught them not to count on anything. The lucky ones get athletic scholarships because a lot of the Chicago schools have extremely strong basketball programs. It just plain sucks and those kids never break the cycle.

There's a guy in my fraternity who was born and raised in Compton, and was a gang member. Now he has a 4.0 and is pre - med. And he does not have any type of scholarship.
If you look hard enough for the opportunity, it will be there and you'll find it.
