THE STATUS SYMBOL
Eddie Ho
What is the value of status?
That people consider as wealth
Is it driving a luxurious car?
That makes them look so stealth
Why am I doing this?
To bluff that I am rich
Or am I doing this
To fit into a particular niche
Can I really afford this car?
With the payments so high
Will I be accepted on credit?
Or will I be simply denied

About the Author
The inspiration for The Edge came when his church youth group went on a mission trip to Paducah, Kentucky to work in the soup kitchens. While working there, Eddie Ho met ordinary people who had suffered a mere setback in their life and were homeless and hungry. They had no control over what had happened, nor did they think their lives were over. Through getting to know some of them, they taught him that life is about how we inspire one another to overcome a difficult struggle not to judge how they got there. Since that time, he has never forgotten those words to let the power of his pen do the talking for him. The words that flow from his pen serve to provide an uplifting message that the greatest lessons are in which we come to aid a person in need, than constantly thinking about ourselves. He continues to serve as a special education teacher and loves working with students. He and his wife, Amy have one child and live in Los Angeles, California.
