I come from a poor background and most people I deal with were born with greater privilege. I feel luckier than them, though, because I've been able to live both sides of the coin and have perspectives they'll never be able to understand.
Your parents don't sound rich but do sound like they're expending a lot of their free money to give you the opportunity of going to this school. I would never have got anything like that from my parents and whatever I had, I've had to get for myself (something else which I see as a good thing now). But, in your case, you're very lucky to have two people care about you this much. Try not to hurt them.
