From Poverty to Prosperity---what's your story?

Tweet

In our town, we see a lot of people, particularly the youth, who are poor. Yes they go to a public school but it seems that they struggle daily with even the basic necessities. We even know of children who goes to school without eating and having threadbare clothes. In our effort to help, we often challenge them to endure and be patient. We help them in their assignments and projects. We also try to counsel them to be good students at school and children in their homes. In our effort to help, we tell them success stories of people who are poor when they were young but were able to rise above poverty and become successful in life. Sometimes, we insert even our own little success stories. Anybody out there, who was once poor when they were young but now has overcome poverty and on towards the journey to success and prosperity? By the way, success and prosperity for me is not limited to the financial side only. Whats your story?
