My thnking and understanding has grown this morning because I realize that people who live in Africa aren’t always like the picture that we see when we think of Africa. When I think of Africa I think of that picture of the little boy who is sitting there in rags with dark black skin and who is dirty and sad because he’s hungry. Today I saw a picture of a white woman who looked like she was some sort of politician who was talking in front of a huge crowd is my guess. I learned that half of the people in Africa have never stepped foot in a classroom. For me I am excited when we have a snow day or christmas break, because I have the privalege of going to a private, christian school every day. I go to school so much, that I start to get bored. There are people in Africa who, all they want to do is just go to school, at least once.
