" 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 decided that I would change it." By Dr.Ben Carson

       What this quote means to me is that the way you live all depends on you. Never complain that it is your situation in life that is preventing you from doing something because that is just an excuse. You can do what ever you put your mind to. If you want to get out of poverty than you can because you are setting a goal for yourself and you wont give up until you achieve it. Everything you do in life all depends on the choices you make. Getting an education is the best thing you can do for yourself because getting an education makes you more valuable in life. Finding ways to better yourself is another way to make yourself valuable. You can write your own future as long as you go through with your goals in life.
