"Rural Origins":An Investigation into the Emotional Experiences of Underpriviledged Students
The study used qualitative interviews and autobiographical sociological analysis to examine the emotional transitions ex-perienced by students from rural background during their journey through social class mobility.The findings indicate that these students navigate a complex array of emotions as they strive to transcend class barriers.These emotional experiences encompass feelings of isola-tion and the struggles associated with constrained development opportunities,as well as a sense of pride derived from academic succes-ses and the ambition to transform the rural hardships.The study highlights that the emotional landscape of individuals with a"rural ori-gin"is marked by a juxtaposition of joy and despair in self-identity,a mix of intimacy and estrangement in familial connections,and an interplay of transparency and secrecy in emotional dynamics.Overcoming these paradoxical emotional experiences necessitates the establishment of a more egalitarian and equitable societal structure for class mobility.Simultaneously,it is imperative for students from rural backgrounds to persistently cultivate a sense of achievement and purpose in their endeavours.
