I tipu ake ia i te takiwa o Wynnefield o West Philadelphia, a i whakaarahia ia hei Baptist. He tuahine matua tana ko Pamela me nga taina iti e rua, nga mahanga a Harry raua ko Ellen. I haere a Smith ki te Our Lady of Lourdes, he kura tuatahi Katorika motuhake i Philadelphia. I wehe ona maatua i te 13 o ona tau, engari kaore i tino whakarere tae noa ki te 2000. I haere a Smith ki te Kura Tuarua o Overbrook. Ahakoa kua nui te ripoata kua paopao a Smith i te karahipi ki te haere ki te Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), kaore ia i tono ki te kaareti na te mea "i hiahia ia ki te rapu". E ai ki a Smith i whakaaetia ia ki tētahi "pūnaha [marama] o mua i te pūkaha" i MIT mō ngā ākonga kura tuarua, engari kāore ia i tae atu. E ai ki a Smith, "Ko taku whaea, i mahi mo te Poari Kura o Philadelphia, he hoa tana ko te kaitohutohu whakauru i MIT. He nui aku tohu SAT, ā, e hiahiatia ana e rātau he tamariki pango, nō reira i taea pea e au te uru atu. Engari kaore au i whakaaro ki te haere ki te whare wānanga".  Pātai: I whānau a Smith i whea rā?
