Financial stability plays a vital role in a child’s upbringing as well as in their entire life. Growing up in a substandard family is more challenging for offspring than those from a prosperous family because it raises difficult circumstances in many ways. As a result, they become independent and prepare physically, mentally, and emotionally to deal with all the obstacles so far. I agree with this statement and this essay will discuss how these components contribute to their life.

First and foremost, children who belong to poor households are more fearless about taking risks and do not hesitate to accept challenges in life. In childhood, they have dealt with so many hurdles. Those dilemmas often push them to search for solutions which may help to minimise their difficulties. Consequently, they often succeed to tackle hurdles however sometimes they learn from failure. Thus, those lessons could play a significant role in life and would use more constructively.

Secondly, the responsibilities that have been taken by children who come from poor - family background is the priority. In other words, they are more aware of their family’s responsibilities at a very young age because their household circumstances instil a sense of duty within them which leads to sensible, disciplined, and responsible humans in future. APJ Abdul Kalam, for instance, was a former president, teacher, and aeronautical engineer of India. He belonged to an underprivileged family, however, due to his hardworking nature, he got multiple scholarships and completed his study and became a renowned scientist. Therefore, parents do not need to remind children’s duties all the time.

In conclusion, although many successful people came from underprivileged backgrounds, they achieved their dream only because of risk-taking behaviours and responsible attitudes. I believe they are more goal-oriented in their visions.
