Poverty

You love school. The aspect of learning makes you smile. You finish elementary school and can't go to high school because your family is too poor and needs you to work. As you were growing up everyone said how you'd go to high school and college and have your life easier. So the whole time of school you tried your hardest and set your expectations very high but no matter what you still get shot down. All because of the fact that poverty has kept you away from the things you love.

Poverty is evil. It feeds on the things you love and cherish. Therefore when in poverty everything is a challenge whether it's paying the rent or getting an education. It teaches a very good lesson though. A lesson of the items you own mean so much more to you since you know that it was very hard to become the owner of that item whether it's bread or a toy. That is a lesson that most people don't have and one that cannot be taught in a school. Poverty strikes on the families that do nothing wrong to deserve it. They could live a god life and not sin but still get smacked with poverty. It is a very depressing matter when thinking that there are less fortunate people everywhere and your mind drifts to where they might sleep tonight or how they get their food or how they even survive. Most people though fight through it and attempt to make the best of it all.

At least we can be sure that people now are helping fight poverty. As they fight through this mess let's hope one by one that they start to get things they love back.
