I remember how a school mate of mine denied his father before everyone. It was a boarding house and we had parents stroll in at weekends. So this guy's father came looking for him but the moment he sighted his Dad, a peasant farmer with a bicycle, he repeatedly denied him. In fact, he said, his father was a regular beggar that bugged his life. The father, too heartbroken, walked away. But this guy stylishly went behind his friends to meet him. That was when we found out the truth.
Why did he deny him? He had always boasted about the many mansions they didn't have, the many cars with swimming pool, and the wealth of his father. His lies had earned him so much respect amongst his friends. He was the Don. But here was his Dad with no cars but a bicycle on his way home from the farm. For the Don, alarm don blow!
I've heard of similar stories till date and it's all just sad. Your father definitely values education to have sent you to school with his tough, life-no-easy-at all, hard earned money. He's giving you a future he never had and you still don't think you should be proud of someone like that? Well, he was just young and naïve, trying to feel among. He learnt his lesson that day as friends began to rain senses into him.
See, your parents may not be driving G-Class or flying first class but they are your parents! His father couldn't afford better clothes because that's the alternative forgone for his school fees. Your parents also want to chop all the life but that might mean chopping all your future. Treasure them. Value them. Appreciate them. Be proud of them. There's no point being ashamed of them and their not-so-fine faces because of the stress they've gone through for you. You should be thinking of how to make them happy. You and I know if being rich is just by hard work and creativity, many of our parents would be super rich. But life doesn't work that way. Be happy for those whose parents have it all but don't deny yours because of some stupid competition without trophy. Cheers!

God i miss my dad...
