I held two assumptions: One, that poor people are poor in part because they're uneducated and don't make good choices; two is that we then need people like me to figure out what they need and get it to them.
Tenía dos supuestos: uno, que los pobres son pobres en parte porque no tienen educación y no toman buenas decisiones; dos, es que necesitan gente como yo para saber qué necesitan y conseguírselos.
