AFRICA

..Where should I start, hmmm my story began when I was born in Africa, South Sudan to be exact. At that time, there were a lot of rebels and tribal war occurring everyday in a different are of Sudan. There are over one hundred different languages and tribes. The common language spoken among everyone was Arabic. Where I was born, there aren't many well built structures that you'll find in a third world country. In my village, we all lived in a hut. We grow our on produce and also go hunting most of the time. People go hunting either using traps or bow and arrow and or guns. AK47 the be precise, it is the most common gun used in Africa because you can use it in any kind of weather. There are seven children in my family. I'm the second youngest amongst my siblings. In our village once a boy reaches the age of 7, he's trained in hunting, laying traps and also survival kind of lifestyle in the wilderness. Once the boy reaches the age of 12 he's forced to go hunt by himself in the wilderness. They are given three days worth time limit in order to test the boys out. Once the boy returns to the village with a game, he'd be considered a man. They are expected to present their game to the family chief and also present it to his future wife's family. To prove to them that he is a man and also that he can protect her and provide for her.
