So many people who endure poverty as children end up making unhealthy choices or accepting their lots. Those around us don’t realize that some of us never feel like we have a choice, never know we have a voice or a right to speak. Some children are taught they deserve and have such power, but for those of us who weren’t given the privilege of that knowledge, we go on doing the things we saw adults around us do, we subconsciously choose the lives that were modeled for us.
