For the poor youth of today....

I hope to reach the youth of today, which are from the poor families. I have an important message I need to get across. I know that even if you are poor, you have access to the media. Online, print out, or whatever means, this can reach you. 

If you are not poor or doesn't belong to the poverty line or even below that, stop reading. If you didn't experience to go to school with just enough money to pay for transport, or not even enough actually, stop reading. If you didn't experience to eat rice, with just some sugar on top, or maybe soy sauce, or if lucky maybe a tomato, stop reading. You wouldn't understand. 

I see poor people everywhere. Some of my relatives as well are poor. And so I am writing... 

It is difficult to be poor. It is hard. We know this day by day. And with so much crimes happening, some gives up somewhere along the way and just gives in to the cruel world. They turn into drug addicts, thief, or some gets pregnant. But this doesn't have to be your ending. There is a way out. This is cliche. But I tell you, it is true! Deny yourself this chance and you will regret it one day, maybe too late. My advise is very simple: FINISH YOUR STUDIES. And I mean college, yes. There will be people snobbing saying nahhh, even if you dont, you can still earn money. Yes, that's true! But would it be enough to change your life? Would it move you to the suburbs ? Would it give you the chance to help your love ones?? Most probably not!!!  The money you will be earning would be enough maybe for a year or two of going out, buying you things, you think you need. 

It is not bad to dream. It isn't bad to think that there could be something better for yourself. GOD created this beautiful world we are in. Take it one day at a time. Don't dwell on it too much. But set the goal of finishing your studies. Afterwards, you do the math. It would take you to places you'eve never think you can go. It can be the stepping stone you need. Yes it would still be the same world you were living in. But it would give you an edge. How to use it afterwards is all up to you.
