Poverty can really change people to what they don't want to become.poverty can give you mental illness,it can change your mindset,it can make you dishonest and make you see life from another perspective.most people have died of poverty through BP just because of there mentality of been poor.but what you see yourself as that's what you become so the first way to pull your self out of it is to renew you mind first.there are alot of persons who from nothing became something.am an example I never saw myself been poor even thou I came from a poor background,I saw my self been rich that was how I struggle out of poverty.
