About this Quote

He was likely amazed to see the number of people were living in poverty and the number of youngsters his age were mosting likely to school without having actually consumed morning meal. This was likely a stark contrast to his own experience, as he was most likely going to a racially set apart school, where the pupils were not subjected to the exact same degree of destitution and appetite.
