Poverty is a word for someone who lives with a lack of food, water and shelter. In developing countries poverty is not an unusual thing , Infact six hundred million of the worlds children live in complete poverty. Seventeen % of all people in the united states experience or have experienced poverty. Eight hundred million people go to bed hungry every single day.

When ever i'm driving in the car or walking on the streets it's not unusual to see a homeless person. Now usually i would just keep walking and whisper around about how that person was creepy. The past few weeks while we have been studying poverty i've began to realize that those people aren't creeps there just people who lost there money, or have just become lost. In developing countries people are living in poverty because the area in which they are living is poor dont have acesss to clean water and food.

Poverty is a crazy thing that has a terrible impact on life. People dying everyday because they don't have access to clean water. Children not being able to go to school because there family can't afford it. These are all really scary things that happen everyday. I will never understand the true meaning of poverty until i'm actually living in it. I don't know what else to say because I have no idea what it is actually like going to bed hungry, every single night.
