Do you think your location in a city or area affects your education?
Long story short- yes. This factor can greatly affect your education; but only if you let it!
There are many, many articles talking about how your location can and will effect your education. No matter what anybody says, using your location as a reason as to why you’re not “smart” is a crutch. Absolutely anybody can become a genius/ extremely intelligent through solo work and pushing your limits.
If there aren’t any good schools in your area, you can travel to get to them. If there aren’t good teachers in your area, you can teach yourself through research and time. If you don’t have any support from your parents/ family, you can seek support through other people or even higher ups, such as a mentor.
Someone in the absolute worst area and worst position can still be pulled out of the rough to be an extremely intelligent member of society that can put forth great work and ideas. Anybody could bring a new discovery into the world! There is no excuse you can use to really defend your lack of smarts (not including legitimate issues.)
