I was really suprized by how many people didn't live a life as good as mine. I thought there were very few people starving, and I never even thought about people who didn't have clean air, or places to put their garbage. 32% of the world does not breathe clean air everyday! It's so horrible. And 17% of the population is starving all the time and close to death. That part makes me want to cry. I was also suprised at the amount of people from each continent. Only 5% of people live in Canada and America combined, and 70% of people live in Asia! It's insane!
I was upset by a lot of it. I couldn't believe the amount of people that are starving each day. There aren't enough people that have clean air each day, there should be more then 68% of people. I can go to school most of my week, and get really good education, and some days I don't even want to go. But then think about the people who wish they can go to school so bad, but they can't go. This makes me feel so bad that I didn't appreciate that I can go to school and get good education. Learning about this makes me feel so lucky, but guilty at the same time because I feel like I'm hogging all the important things in life, and other people can't get enough of it.
When I read about all the people who don't have as great a life as me, I really wanted to try to improve all of this, but I didn't know how because I'm just a 10 year old.
