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 decided that i would change it"

Dr. Ben Carson

this mean that the people who live in the street they set it up for themselves they had parents and their parents wanted the best for them i'm pretty sure they all went to school they could have become something but since most of them thought oh i can make money some other way and than they noticed that they should have done something in school they should have been something else than just going to parties and just drinking smoking and doing nothing with their life honestly i wouldn't want to date a man who isn't smart and who doesn't know what they want to be in life because than they will be wasting there time doing other things than focusing on what is really important which is school and not doing drugs like mostly every little kid wants to try know and days thinking that drugs will get you into college like honestly life gets harder and harder and it gets harder to even get into a college the college's want someone who will be something not someone that will only be there a short period of time. I surly don't want to become something in life and not but a dumb person for the rest of my life.
