                                           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" -Dr. Ben Carson 
                                     
I understand Ben's point of view when he says he hates poverty because most of us now in days do go through this and poverty is a big thing that does affect families and adults. there is times were you just have to ignore it and continue on with life but at the same time poverty is what causes us to be stressful and sometimes worried. Poverty is is a huge problem especially in poor areas. Poverty can be something that can affect a lot of people but there are ways to change it and i feel like if we all get a chance, poverty wouldn't be such a huge problem anymore. but yeah Ben is right in many ways when it comes to this.
