My parents are poor. How can I be successful?

Try to be specific about what success means to you - is it making a certain amount of money a year or living in a certain kind of house or driving a certain kind of car? Or is it something more internal like a sense of pride in the kind of work you're doing? Write down what success means to you and at least 3 tangible ways by which you can measure that success and check in periodically with yourself to see how you're measuring up. If you're not measuring up perhaps break your ideal of success into smaller, more attainable parts, think back on past experiences of goals you achieved and how you felt - being in a successful state of mind more often will help you experience more success.

The best way to make yourself known is to get experience. You can do so by volunteering in many sectors of the business industry. The more you know, the less your employer will have to worry about training you which means your employer will be more likely to pick you over someone they have to train which costs them time and money. You can also take part in extra curricular activities to add to your CV which employers will be pleased about as it shows you are willing and you will keep yourself busy. You can take part in free activities in your area by using a social media site such as meetup.com which have a lot of free activities available in many countries. It may seem like something small but you can also make yourself feel better by keeping yourself well read by reading books to keep yourself busy and sane. You could go to your local library and take out books for entertainment or for self-help or even for self-teaching. It is unfortunate but if you want to be successful, you have to put in a lot of effort, time and patience. You need to learn to be patient with yourself and force yourself to go the extra mile. I hope this information helps.
