All of us have emotional scars from our childhoods, but we have each other. Somehow my parents, who divorced when I was eight years old, had four intelligent and productive children. My mom was dumb and weak-willed and put up with his nonsense.īut was it our fault (my three siblings and I)? Not at all. My dad would work late, was an alcoholic and abusive, and would rarely bring home a paycheck. Before I was born my family was eating eggs for every meal of the day because they were cheap.
Rich people still have problems just like everyone else, the only difference is that they can afford to pay for lawyers to get out of trouble where poor people just go to jail and deal with the consequences the hard way. Rich people with a lot of money will still steal, as do the poor. This article has been extremely generalized! Rich and poor people do drugs, class has nothing to do with it. Being laid off from that job was ultimately a blessing.
I remember being stuck in a job and feeling like I had no options to make things better. I think as a country we need to empower low-income families to help themselves. I found this article while doing research for a paper. In addition, I am preparing to graduate from college in a week. He's now a freshman in college and is on the football team. When he graduated from high school, he received a scholarship based on good character and a separate award for having a positive impact on his school. He was a state place winner in wrestling and captain of the football team. I took extra jobs to allow my son to be in activities, attended every one of his sporting events and made time for him. We are certainly not the typical low-income family. I was juggling bills and paying only the most pressing ones. I made too much to qualify for any assistance and barely enough to get by. I have raised my son as a single mom with a single income. It is still the best place on the planet to get ahead if you are willing to work. Look at all the people who risk their lives to come to this country. I am successful today and fairly well off due to the hard work ethic instilled at a young age. I would not trade it for any other upbringing. We had no money, but had a richness in family values. College was something that I later worked myself through without any loans. Getting good grades in school was important to my parents and they instilled a strong work ethic in us. My parents worked very hard and I and my siblings worked alongside of them as soon as we were old enough. I grew up on a share crop farm with four siblings. Children who live in poverty worry about being poor and not having what another person has, and dealing with unhappy parents who stress out their children. The reason why they might not develop these tools, is there is no one to teach them who knows how. The problem is if they don't develop these tools they will definitely have a difficult time. It is possible for a poor child to become successful if they develop the necessary tools to be a successful adult. The obvious reason is that they have less to work with. If jobs are only for educated people, what is expected for the ones who are not clever? They are going to be thieves tomorrow because they won't be able to provide for themselves.Ī child can come out of poverty and be a healthy individual, but their chances are a lot lower than a middle class child.
The government should create jobs that the illiterate can qualify for. The Lord hears the cry of the poor blessed be the Lord! Those who live in poverty sacrifice and share what they have, like the widow's offering, in gratitude.ī. The world has plenty for the needy but not enough for the greedy. Congrats! While reading all these, two thoughts continue to echo in my mind.Ī. I like the way this article is written and the discussions.
