Blog Action Day: Being Poor.....

Being poor is not a choice. Some says, it's probably fate. Some are destined to it and some are not. Lucky for those who were born on a silver platter; those who were sons and daughters of rich men; those who were offspring of business tycoons; those who were heirs and heiress of wealthy men. Given two options: to be rich or to become poor? Who would want to choose the latter one? As a matter of fact, "nobody" wants to become poor but sometimes destiny calls for it.

More often than not, those who were born poor are far from being successful. Why? Though, not all, but most of the poor cannot afford to have a good education unless, of course, one should strive hard to attain it by being a scholar or apply for a part-time job or as a working student just to have a degree in education and then one can be accessible to have a good job in the future.

But there are few who were striving hard on whatever their endeavors are in order to improve the quality of life but still stuck in poverty. Who would be blamed? Some blame it to the government officials for they are only concern on their political careers. Others blame it to the poor people themselves.

What about you? Do you have stories to tell about poverty? Then, share it!
