1st Edit

–Children need to know what it is like to be poor– / Children need to know what it is like to have less

This means that children should learn how to treasure money and how to use money. For example, my children are rich,/my children are blessed/lucky/have a good life, they don’t worry about food and clothes. But/However, there are a lot of people who still do not have enough food to eat and not enough clothes to wear in the world. I want to make my children learn/understand that there are a lot of people that are poorer than them and everyone should learn not to waste from when they are young. When they become adults, I hope they can use money reasonably and donate or share with others. .

Never give up even rich or poor.
This means that , first, when people are rich in young age, they will think it is easy to do everything successfully, because they didn’t have big problems yet. When the problems came ,they don’t know how to solve it and give up quickly. Second , when people are poor, they think everything is unsuccessful to do , and it is easy to give up their dreams from start. However it is rich or poor, we must trust ourselves and keep our dreams. I am trying to keep going ahead myself, and make my children understand these in future.

2nd Edit

–Children need to know what it is like to be poor– / Children need to know what it is like to have less

This means that childrenshould learn how to treasure money and how to use money. For example, my children are rich,/my children are blessed/lucky/have a good life, they don’t worry about food and clothes. But/However, there are a lot of people who still do not have enough food to eat and not enough clothes to wear in the world. I want to make my children learn/understand that there are a lot of people that are poorer than them and everyone should learn not to waste from when they are young. When they become adults, I hope they can use money reasonably and donate or share with others. .

Even if my children are rich or poor, they should never give up on themselves. 

This means that, young people from a wealthy/affluent family will think it is easy to do everything successfully, because they haven’t faced any big problems themselves. These types of people haven’t had to do anything for themselves because somebody always did it for them. When these problems come/occur/happen,they don’t know how to solve it and give up quickly. When people are poor, they think everything they do is unsuccessful, so they give up their dreams easily from the start. However even if people are rich or poor, they must trust/believe in themselves and fight for our dreams. Even I have problems in life and I need to keep fighting and make my children understand the importance of never giving up.
