How did you go from rags to riches over time?

Do you know anyone who went from rags to riches (almost) overnight?

Well I used to be in rags, but it took me six years and living in eleven different countries, as well as a whole lot of physical violence, to get me where I am now.

@BlueMetalChick Picture yourself as a 'country' rather than a person. We've talked and I've listened and payed attention. My instincts tell me that you don't lie about anything. You have been spared mediocrity, and that is probably worth the pain and fear that you have experienced. Your life reads like a screen play for a damn good movie, and for that, you can be grateful. Which country are you? I'm curious!
