Poverty in Life

You know? long long time ago, no one knows about the word poverty because it never existed, but now it's one of the popular word on earth for it is also the popular problem. Poverty is the only illness that has no cure. Its the number one killer of all time. It already killed millions of people around the world.

Did you ever experience being poor in your whole life, I mean really poor? Believe it or not, there was a year of my life when I was a victim of poverty. I spent my whole Grade II life as a child from a poor family. My mother and father never got together as a family. I lived with my very young mom and I saw poverty in my life. Its so easy to become poor but its never easy to be poor. As a seven year old child, I've learned to wake up early in the morning in order to help my mother on the household choirs, to go to the river with my cousins to take a bath even before the sun rises, and to walk a two kilometer distance from home to school and vice versa even its raining hard. That's how unfair life is when you are poor to the extent that you must make sacrifices for you to achieve your dreams, that's why my mother signed that adoption paper.

I'm sure what I experienced is nothing compared to other children out there in the streets. We must be thankful of what we have because many other people can never experience what we experience.
