“I hate poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else,and I can change that (poverty). Its depends upon how hard I want to work, and I decided that I would change it”

- Dr. Ben Carson

What i understand from the quote this is if you improve on your work during school and get good grades you won’t live like a poverty because you tried you best and if you don’t try at all then what is the whole point of coming to school if your aren’t getting educated. Thousands of kids want to be in your shoes but they can’t because they aren’t living here or they are too poor to get supplies for school but they try their best to get in  school. Poverty is something that mostly eve one is born in because some people choose to work hard and so choose to give up. The only reason people are poor is because they don’t care about school but once they are out of school they realize they spend too much time doing the wrong thing. Poverty is more of a choice because you choose to study and don’t do anything.
