<prompt> Human: Posting for someone I know. The guy and his family -- Grew up on an Native American reservation playing in uranium dumps- Accepted to Stanford- 4.0 GPA by end of one semester but had to return to the reservation after his father lost his job- Mom, dad both need dialysis almost every other day- Brother has cancer- Sisters underage.- This guy - oldest - sole wage earner and supporter of the family. Total 11 members in his family. Most family members keep oscillating in and out of jail or are ill or drunk.- The question hed like to ask - How can I go back and get a degree from Stanford when I am the sole breadwinner?Any advice for this brilliant and dedicated individual?  <response>: Have you heard of the Oxygen Mask Theory? Do you know when you are on an airplane and the stewardess tells you how to put your oxygen mask on, they tell the responsible party to put theirs on first? Well, it turns out that if you dont put it on within 30 seconds, you could potentially pass out from lack of oxygen. If you dont have yours on and you pass out, you cant help anyone else in your family or party.Basically you have to be a little selfish to help everyone out eventually.
