If there is one thing I know about life, it is that poverty is not sweet at all. I have tasted it not even small of it and I know how it feels, I know the pain and I understand what it can really affect in someone's life. That is why, if you ask me to choose, I will never choose to be poor. Even average age of 99 percentage of people in the whole world will never choose to be poor
Being poor is like carrying heavy load on your head every day. When you wake up, you start thinking of food, of transport, of school fees, of house rent, everything is problem and it becomes burden. I remember back in my school days, sometimes I don’t even know how I will eat two times in a day. One time I almost miss exam because I could not pay my school fees on time. That pain, I cannot forget.
Poor person many time don’t have choice. You wear what people dash you, you eat what is available not what you want, and people even look down on you. I have been in gathering before where because I wear old shoe, some people don’t even respect my opinion. That day I tell myself, poverty is not my portion.
But poverty also teach me one lesson. It give me strong will to work hard, to fight for better tomorrow. Each time I remember hunger days, it push me to do better. It also make me value small things. Even if I buy little bread with my own money, I feel proud because I know how far I come.
Still, no matter the small lesson, poverty is not something to embrace. It steal joy, it bring shame, and it limit dream. That is why I will not choose it. I want to live life where I can help others, support my family, and not cry because of simple needs.
So, in always in my heart and on my mind that my choice is clear. I will hustle, I will learn, I will grow, but I will never sit down and accept poverty. Life is more better when you have enough, and I believe everybody deserve that chance.
