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

-Dr. Ben Carson

Reflection: What this quote is saying is that if you try your best, you can succeed. If you work really hard to achieve a goal, you can make it happen. Set a goal for yourself. Watch it change over time. You can change things, that's if you put a lot of work into it.

Example: Let's say one of your goals is to start getting way better grades than the ones that you have. You must work hard in order to accomplish them. It is something that you can do. But you must put so much work and effort. If you believe and do the work that you need to do in order to accomplish your work, your goal will be completed.

idk man.
