Need vs. Want

I grew up without much, but would never use that as an excuse. I built character from a young age and was able to recognize the difference between need and want. I learned to be resourceful and make “wants” come to fruition. I learned to recognize and seize opportunity when it presented itself. For example, I started working at twelve years old. Not because I needed to support my family, but because I wanted to keep my haircut and buy a nice pair of shoes every once and awhile. Anything in life is attainable when the right plans of action encounters opportunity.
