How would your life be different if you had been born in Niger?

If I had been born in Niger, I imagine my life would be pretty tough (my life presently is pretty nice…so huge change there). First of all, Niger has the lowest Human Development Index (HDI) on earth, so I would most likely be impoverished. The HDI is a comparative measure of life expectancy, literacy, education, and standards of living worldwide.  It's a standard means of measuring well-being, especially child welfare. It's used to distinguish whether the country is a developed, developing, or an underdeveloped country. The HDI also measures the quality of life. When Niger has the LOWEST HDI on earth, well things can't be too good; thus, my life would probably be not too good either. I would most likely not have an education. This would in turn mean I wouldn't be able to read and write! That's depressing...those are two things I really enjoy.  Secondly, I would be very poor...so I might not even be wearing shoes! Crazy. I can’t imagine not owning one pair of shoes; this is just totally recondite to me.  In addition to everything else, the religion of Islam dominates 97% of Niger's population....so I would probably be a Muslim! Wow, what a difference from what I believe (I'm a radical follower of Christ NOT Muhammad)! And if Niger is predominantly Islamic, then I would probably be treated like crap because I'm a girl! I am thanking God right now that I was born in Nebraska to my parents; what a wonderful life I have, especially if I compare it to anyone in Niger or if I compare it to anyone in all of Africa for that matter (maybe minus South Africa...)! And on top of everything else, there is a good chance I might have had a kid by now…whoa. And most likely out of marriage (and it’s likely it was out of rape, which is sad). Oh, and the common diet consists of milk, millet, and dates. No meat! That’s just crazy again; meat is a staple in my diet. So pretty much, if I had been born in Niger, I would be a totally different person. TOTALLY.
