Don't let a good school turn you into a snob. From experience I can tell you that when you are of no further use to those people they will dump you like a hot coal. In the meantime you will be popular if you are clever - in order to help them achieve good results. But if you are ever ill or off school for any reason, they will not phone you or worry how you are, as you will be of no use to them.
Then you will realise who truly loves you and who wants to help you most... your parents! The very ones you think you need to be ashamed of.
Personally, I would be ashamed if I thought I was marrying into an idiotic family who thought my parents were in any way 'lower' than them. Your parents have achieved a great deal considering they don't speak English!!
One thing I will tell you is - if anyone in your 'elite' school finds out that you are ashamed of your parents they will use it against you big time!! When you are open and honest about your background, it is not a mystery and others take it for granted and don't make an issue of it. Whatever you do, you must never share these thoughts, in a secret, with the shallow friends you have!
