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 I would change it.”

                                 -Ben Carson

If you were born or raised in poverty, it does not mean that you will always be in poverty. You have the choice to change it, your life is yours. You have the responsibility of making the right choices for yourself. As Ben Carson was raised in poverty, he chose to change his life. He didn’t want to live in poverty any longer. Carson may have been the worst student in his grade school, but he tried and became the best in his high school. You only have to try and do your best to succeed. As Ben Carson is known to be a world renowned neurosurgeon, he tried his best. He shows others in poverty that they can change that. And they only will by their own choices. This is your own responsibility, for their future.
