@Jaden3 Some will, and you can't help that. But some of us grow up eventually - I can give you that much hope.

When I started university, I found out that two places in my pre-law class were reserved for Maori students whose high school grades hadn't been high enough to be admitted the regular way.

As a deeply ignorant white kid, I though it was ridiculous.
Eventually I understood why, and now I'm completely behind it. In fact, I'd put money on those kids studying many times harder than I did.

Besides which, have you tried studying law? The first year is basically a nonstop hazing to see who actually makes it through to the second year. IDGAF what your grades were beforehand; if you get through that, you've earned your place. Doubly so if you're dealing with the kind of shit that keeps Maori kids back.
(I did not make it through)
