With an income of more than $300,000, Alexander's family was able to spend far more money on Alexander's education, lessons, and other enrichment activities than Anthony's parents could devote to their son's needs.
This reminds me with my own personal high-school experience. Around my senior year of high school I was introduced to the SATs and have no prior knowledge of the importances of the exams. Around this time I would see my peers paying for private tutors or SAT bootcamps to help boost their score. I realized how unfair it was as I was forced to study for an exam that I had no resources for except the free online practice tests. It introduced me to the disadvantages of being a first generation student as I was experiencing the college prep process by myself while my peers had all the best resources.
