Whatever you do, don't live in Tanzania! Famine every 2 years, Seems like everyone gets hookworm and malaria and river blindness, I worked a crappy job for $63 dollars a month and never had any liesure time. First 3 children were stillborn. None of my brothers or sisters or their significant others or my children went to college, apparently only 5% graduate secondary school and only 3% of those go to college. Was enlightening.
Next I'm going to choose to be a stupid but beautiful woman in the US, drop out of highschool and start churning out babies, go on welfare and leech off the taxpayers
