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

Many people believe they can not change their living situation. But they're wrong, they can change it. They just have to put their minds to it. Something that can help them is education. Whatever you want to study or learn about will help you go places is you set your mind to it.
