              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 work,                                     and I decided that I would change it."
                                ~Dr. Ben Carson

   Dr. Ben Carson is a great example of how education is the key to your success. And its true on what he says. Poverty is just a choice and you can always change that choice. If your going to school getting your education your making the choice to be there. You may not think so at first but your choices and actions determine your future. Dr. Ben Carson came with nothing at first. He was born into poverty, wasn't the brightest kid in his school at a young age but once his mother started to push him more and encouraged him to read books and write a written essay about it he started to notice a difference. He detested it at first but later on he started to become smarter. He then ranked one of the top students in his school. And with that he started to be successful in his life. Became a nobody to a somebody. And he is a role model to others to encourage them to do better because your social ranking doesn't matter because its the effort you put into those choices that will either lead you up or down>
