Not surprising there's kids like that in lake Zurich. Tons of privilege there. This kid has a good head on his shoulders. Don't let the cake eaters get to ya bud! I went to school in the Chicago suburbs and felt like the poor city kid in a sea of wealth and fame. And I wasn't poor by any means, but let's say a lot of our money went to education.
I had the same experience. One of the poor families in a rich suburb. Now I look back and realize I lived in an admitadely run down castle and am like. Man I wish I was as poor as my dad.
