Poverty

Hi, I was actually not feeling well and that was why I missed last class, but I think I understand a couple things what poor people feel. When I was little I went to a school located in a very poor area in Jakarta for a couple years. I went to school with lots of poor kids, I saw and experienced their lives. They were living a very tough life, I saw them struggle to pay for school tuition which was only 50 cents a month. I was invited several times to their homes and saw the standard of living that they had, it was very sad to see that they even struggled to get running clean water. I always tried to help my friends that had some financial problems, and I always tried not to make them feel uncomfortable when they were around me. By having these poor friends as a boy, I grew up always having the will to try to help the poor.
