My parents are poor. How can I be successful?

Just because your parents are poor, doesn’t mean you can’t be successful! There are many different opportunities, that Help people with education funds!

Use an hour every day to improve your self. Read a book that you've been putting aside, make that call you've been wanting to make. Do something that might scare you a little but will improve your life.

Remember that "wealth" is a subjective concept. My siblings and I grew up "poor" but we didn't have time to notice because we had each other. Sure, we fought over the secondhand toys we owned and over who played with who, but in the end, we were happy. As we grew up, we became more aware when we went to school and realized we didn't have things other kids had. However, we didn't see it at the time, that perhaps we had things that other kids couldn't buy like family relationships and bonding. Success is how you want to define for yourself. Of course, if you grew up with little, you may see things others have/had as what you want to strive for. For myself being a parent now, I do want to give my son more than I had in terms of opportunities at a younger age where my parents could not afford like lessons or sporting gear.

Being in a situation where you're not born with financial privilege can be hard. But it could be helpful to note that your parents' financial situation does not define you. That being said, you might face certain challenges that the more affluent families are less likely to face. What is your definition of being successful? if it means to have a better education then perhaps you might like to take advantage of any volunteer/free help for students to help with your academics. It's also good to join a bunch of activities (which could be free or low-cost, volunteer run activities) so that you do broaden your mind and meet new people and that could be your way of networking. Networking is important for future opportunities that would help you to be successful in different ways depending on your needs. It's a little difficult answering without more information from you but hope this helps!
