Egypt

As I'm researching major problems that Egypt faces, I keep seeing a recurring topic of overpopulation. Personally to me I feel that overpopulation would be one of that biggest challenges that Egypt faces. With that problem it would lead to the other problems that they face as far as economical and environmental. Studies show that the population had grown over six times in the past century and tripled since that 1950's. 

Then there is the amount of kids that are left with no homes and put on the streets. Kids have to fend and find food for themselves. So most of them will not even eat. But If the kids have a family to live with they have a sense of responsibility where that have to work. The families rely on the income from every single people in the family. So if there is more kids then there is more money for the family. 

There may be a lot of people but that doesn't necessarily a bad thing. Studies show that health benefits have improved also. Young people are surviving illnesses and the adults live a longer life.  

Even through health benefits improve there still is the problem of the hygiene and space of living problem. There are multiple people of living in the same house or same roof being all cramped. The hygiene isn't the best so people can get sick. And then there is the water supply and it dirty and it's not healthy to drink. So even though health benefits improve drinking dirty water will not help. 

Since education is expensive the kids are required to get to job they are neglected of a proper education.This will hurt the child when they grow up. They will lose their individuality and their own way of thought. Along with their free will. 

How do you feel about overpopulation?

What are your concerns and feeling towards the children? With the lack of eduction.

This is The City I'm From

The City I'm from is pretty big. 
There is the North, South, East, and West. 
Then it expands to the north end, south end, east end, and west end.
I probably lived in all the areas at one point in my life. 
We usually move every two years or so.

This is the type of city I'm from. 
The type of city were people can come and say well, that's kind of...ghetto. 
The type of city that is compared to Santa's work shop on T.V. 
but not in a good way. 
The type of city that has a lot of loud and crazy people. (which not all of us are by the way.)

The city I'm from is where my parents were born. 
Where my parents grew up. 
Where my parents had met. 
Where my mother and father raised my brothers and I. 
Where I grew up to be the quiet crazy and random guy I am. 

The city I'm from is where I spend most if my summers with my two favorite cousins. 
Laughing, playing and joking around. 
But always end up sad at the end.  
Waiting for another year to hang with them.
Hoping that it would go by fast.  

The city I'm from is what my grandfather takes pride in. 
Where you could always see him at his window. 
Staring at the same brick building. 
Listening to music and sitting in his big chair. 
Having a care free life. 

The city I'm from contains many of my friends. 
The ones who make me laugh.  
The ones who can spend hours on Skype with me. 
The ones who truly care for me. 
The ones who enjoy being around me. 

The city I'm from is where my mom wants to move away from.  
To a place far far away. 
And with that happening. 
I can truly say. 
This is the city I am from.
