Student Success Statement

A Choice: Poverty or Prosperity

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

DR. Ben Carson 

 

Reflection: I believe this quote means it is you choice to be in poverty. If you don't want to be in poverty do something about it get a job and work hard. No one likes to be poor but not every one is willing to work hard and rise from the poorness.
