Barely, and being a faunus didn't help.

It is unfortunate that you are different. To this day, discrimination has and always will be your greatest enemy. Regardless about how you feel about your situation, you will forever be this and you cannot hide it as you have little to no money to buy things needed to cover up and find a decent paying job. Many would work in the Schnee dust mines and be underpaid with others like them or work in jobs that not only underpay but also tear you apart or live on the streets as a criminal, waiting for a victim.
