“I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and I can change that (poverty). It depends upon how hard I want to work, and I decided that I would change it.”

Dr. Ben Carson

Reflection

In this quote by Ben Carson he states “I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and I can change that (poverty). It depends upon how hard I want to work, and I decided that I would change it.” To this meant a special meaning to Dr. Carson but in his mind this meant everything. He is saying that no matter how deep you are in trouble that there is always a way out .That you don’t need help from others that you can do it by yourself. You can change the world like nobody else. He is the reason that so many lives were saved. That when he felt down he got back up and no matter how tough he got he pushed pushed till the end.

I would not like to be an ambulance dispatcher simply because I don’t like to talk on the phone because I’d rather be out there, than sitting at a desk and receiving calls to send someone to rescue them. Plus it’s hard to talk o the phone because maybe it’s their final words of the caller because their dying and you’re the only one who can hear them.
