Home Life. (Score 2, Informative)

I think that it depends on your home life. If you were born in the winter and your home life was tough such as you were raised by a single parent, or your parent are going through a divorce, or your parents education isn't real impressive then you probably won't be awesome in school because the good example isn't there. Sometimes financial struggles of the parent(s) can also allow for less access to good schools, good school materials, and a good education. Stress from home can cause a lack of motivation in education.
