Poverty is commonly an issue for students, when it comes to their education. When students grow up living in poverty, it is likely that they won't have access to a school that would have the best resources. This is important, because your education effects your life as a whole. If a students education is to start off, not being great, it is likely that they will stay behind, or continue not having the resources that others may have. This could effect everything, even their future careers/lifestyles.
