You know, I had a similar conversation with a Soror friend not too long ago, and how we discussed that we all have our own levels and understanding of what poor is or what going without is.

I remember having to wear my clothes more than one day a week, because I didn't have enough clothes nor could my parents, working 4 jobs between the two of them, afford to clothes all of us like they wanted and I remember being teases when I was in the 7th grade. This boy I like even wrote in my year book (yes we had yearbooks in Jr. High?middle school) that though he thought I was a nice person, I stunk and that I should change my clothes. Talk about hurtful and a beating on the ole self-esteem.
