Student Successes Statement

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.”

What I think about this quote is that he is right about; it’s up to a person to decide if they want poverty or not. Also how hard they need to work and go for it.
