A Choice: Poverty or Prosperity

                                 

Dr. Ben Carson started his life as a child of a family of 24, obviously he was very poor. As a young kid he did not like school, he was basically the worst student in hus school, but when his mother decided to tell him to not watch television and to read more he knew that he was becoming smarter. I agree with Ben Carson’s testimony. Poverty is not something you HAVE to live with it is just a choice of life you are given. You either stay in poverty or you make something out of yourself and become successful. Carson became a very successful doctor who put his life into separating conjoined twins.  He was able to prosper in his career and was soon running for president in 2016. Being put born poor gave Carson a choice of becoming someone and many people can do the same, life is all about choices. When you do the right thing great things happen, Ben’s mother made the choice of not seeing her children waste their time watching nonsense and gave them a gift of reading that helped them a lot in life. Like Ben Carson said you try your best and God will do the rest. Education is the greatest thing you can be given, try making the best of it.

               My Winter Break

                    

During my winter break I spent time trying to finish all the episodes of The Vampire Diaries, which I did. Since I didn’t have homework I was capable of doing more stuff. For xmas eve I spent the night at my aunt's house for a family night. We ate and had a bonfire, 3 days after we celebrates my brother's birthday on the 27th. His cake was so delicious it was the first time I actually ate it all because i am not a fan of cake. I did my best not to text certain people and to spend more time going out. That's what I always say and I always end up staying at home. I went to the mall and ps. I bought shoes and a bomber jacket and some other apparel. I was happy to Know it was the first time I bought everything with my own money. I wanted to work for winter break but I wasn’t able to because it is hard to find a job for a 14 year old girl. For New Years eve we didn’t do that much of a celebration as other years but we stayed up till 12 and yeah. For the rest of the week we basically slept ate good food and duh watch movies. I recently started watching Girl Meets World from Disney channel. It is pretty cool and funny, I got sick during the last couple of days and so I had a 13 mile race which was the 1st race I passed Lissbeth. I would of liked to go out more with my friends but  sometimes it is better at home with not so fake surroundings.  I learned many lessons these couple of days and wish they’d help me grow throughout these months left of freshman year.

“ A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.”

           

When it says a good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, it doesn’t mean you should change your name to something cool because yours is so common. It means that who you are is far more than just your name. If you choose to be a CTR person when people hear your name they would know who you are because of all the amazing things you have done. However, if you choose to do the wrong people would despise your name every single time you come up. It doesn’t take a bid effort to do nice things and try to do the best for people. Being rich is temporary the money you have would make people not like you because you are arrogant. Instead of being selfish, and wanting the money instead of a good name you should look forward to the “what would my grandchildren think of when they hear my name,” it all depends on who you decide to be.

             "True wealth is of the heart, not the purse"
                                                                                                                   -Pathros
    There are two meanings of wealth. One meaning the state of being rich, and the other meaning the state of being healthy. Money is what makes the world go round with out it we have no food or clothes or water or a roof to live upon. But to your benefits being wealthy can be something you inherited when you were born. Being rich does not grant you happiness, in theory you can have all the money in the world but there will always be something missing in your life. For example, if you have rich parents who spoil you 24/7 you think that would be all you would ever wish for but in the contrary, your parents won't have time for you. You will have to be facing your problems on your own and you won't have a loving mother to talk to about it. Another example is, being wealthy in money but not being wealthy in health. Health is something worth more than money, if you are not healthy enough you don't have a chance to live and thats when all the "wealth" you though was important will no longer be necessary because you will be dead. That'as why you should choose the right and find wealth in the heart, not the purse. Once a while give charity and spread love around the world. ;)
