    I worked 64 hours a week to pay for my College Tuition.

    That is plus 18 hours of classes, and 18 hours of studies a week.

    This was for the cheapest college near me at a rate of $4000 a semester.

    I love being slaved to the point my grades were low only because of my work. When I saved enough / got scholarships, I was able to stop working, and my grades became a 4.

    So in summary, slaving to afford a chance to have a low grade compared to those with wealth who can get to focus all their time to college.
