DR. BEN CARSON. 

Reflection 

i can relate to this quote. i also come from a poor family, however i do have a plate of food in my table each time im hungry and i also have a roof on top of my head. im just tired of living in a poor neighborhood in a environment were is polluted. I dream of the day i will finally live somewhere else and give my mom what she needs. that's is my motivation, my chance to change it.
