How about the Twelve Apostles ? They were all poor, and started their rise to fame in a small or humble way !

Bill Cosby grew up in the projects in Philadelphia. Harry Truman was a haberdasher (hat salesman). Harrison Ford was a carpenter on the set of Star Wars when he was hired for the part of Han Solo. Lucille Ball was a secretary. John Wayne was a truck driver. Whoopie Goldberg was a prostitute. Gerald Ford was a male model. Albert Einstein was a patent clerk. Charlie Chaplin was born to a very poor family in England. Bob Hope was a boxer. And of course, Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder were blind. I hope this helps.

Richard Nixon (from a poor family)
Franklin Roosevelt (paralyzed from polio)
Helen Keller (blind and deaf from early age)
Pope John Paul II (humble beginning in Poland)
Lyndon Johnson (started as a school teacher)
Harry Truman (sold clothing)
The Wright Brothers (humble origins)
Bob Dole (wounded with non-working right hand)
Terry Fox (amputee from cancer, more of an innovator)
Adolph Hitler (struggling artist, should have stayed that way)
Jean d'Arc (peasant girl, led French to victory over England)
There are others, but I need to go get ready for work. (Seriously.)

there's this gnawing emptiness in my heart
i don't know why
its that old feeling again
of being surrounded with friends yet feeling so alone
my heart's so heavy; its sinking
i find it difficult to breathe
i laugh but actually i cry
life's a stageplay
close the curtain on me
