You actually can be socialized poor. Not socialized to BE poor, but be socialized to a norm of behaviour and morals that is recognized as "poor". Though this book looks at "blue collar" rather than "poor" (which I'd put another step down the class ladder), it examines just this idea of class-based norms of behaviour and morals that can hold you back or even bite you in the butt as you try to escape your origins.
Hi there. Check out this book, it's about exactly what you're describing. https://www.amazon.com/Limbo-Blue-Collar-Roots-White-Collar-Dreams/dp/0471714399/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503500221&sr=8-1&keywords=limbo+book
I am also one of the first in my family to attend and graduate college. I grew up on a horse ranch, my parents were cops. Our lives weren't exactly centered towards "college prep".
Definitely check out that book though. There's dozens of stories in there from people who are going through the same thing. Good luck.
This book looks like it could be helpful. Even if the story isn't useful in itself, it might point you towards researchers/academics and their studies.
