to do for others

Everyone has something worth being proud of. Don't sell yourself short. College is fine but we all know that if you don't learn something from any given situation, then you stagnate. You're hardworking and you've probably learned a lot from the "School of Hard Knocks". This is nothing to sneeze at. What matters is where you're going. You probably have much experience and many stories to share. How else do you see yourself besides hardworking? Even the less fortunate, sickly and retarded have pride in their own accomplishments. They can do things for themselves. Sure they have more limitations than most stereotypically "normal" people, but then who among us hasn't felt limited in some way? Life goes on. True.
