TOEFL Speaking Topic: What is your most important possession?

My most possession is my knowledge. As a child I could never comprehend the whole notion of studying and doing any work as I belonged to a rich family. In the last decade I have lost everything, literally everything. The only thing I did not lose is knowledge. I had no idea on how to earn my livelihood but it was my strong education which made me open a small institute. The knowledge which I acquired over the years made me capable enough to earn money and be respected in a society as an educator.
