                                                  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 II would change it."
Reflection: I think this reflection is very powerful because poverty is a choice not an option.
