A Choice: Poverty or Prosperity
"i hated poverty. poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and i can change that (poverty). It depends upon how hard I want to work, and I decided that I would change it."
Dr. Ben Carson

I agree with Dr. Ben Carson i would never like to go through poverty i'm thankful for the roof i have on top of my head and the food that we have on our table thanks to my parents. If that where the case to ever go through it nobody likes being in poverty and i wouldn't wish it to anybody because it's nothing to look forward to. But if Ben Carson got out of poverty then im sure anyone can get out of it if they have free education anything is possible you just have to want it to get it things don't just come to you have to earn it and deserve it for your hard work. Ben Carson accomplished his goal of getting out of poverty you have to have high expectations for yourself in order to get them. Ben Carson deserved it because he focused in school thanks to his mother telling him and his brother to read and no more watching t.v. ever since that he realized he wasn't "dumb" as people thought he was his mom always believed he wasn't dumb. He succeeded in life thanks to him wanting to get out of poverty.
