This is a case where while being a certain race can make the journey up hard, being born in a "bad area" can make it difficult to, regardless of who you are. People born in these circumstances have no choice but to fight harder to enjoy the same life others can achieve with far less effort, a fact that, while unfair, is true.

This rings true to many people around the world, not just America. Whereas some people in the US have to "climb their way out" where they are from, people from the Philippines for example, have to work their way to places like the US for better life prospects. And still, they want to be near an urban area where jobs pay more, not in the middle of nowhere where some Americans are born into.

This seems absurd to me. Why are there no good jobs near her? Why is she stuck spending a sixth of her day traveling to and from work? There needs to be more accessible jobs, or at least, more efficient transportation.
