Student Success Statement: 

"I hated poverty.
Poverty is more of a choice than anything
else, and i can change that (poverty). It dependsupon how hard I want to work, and i decided that I would change it."
Dr.Ben Carson

Reflection: What he meant was that poverty wasn't a choice but he still did and anyone could change poverty if they try hard and want to change it like he did but if you don't you'll be doing things like you've been usually too which we all know you don't that but you'll still be slacking and not working hard for what you want,also not working hard on changing poverty
