You need two jobs if not 4 to survive and pay your bills.
Any idea how many people are homeless? Entire families even those who have a job because they can't find a place to rent they can afford?

I would not like to grow up in a country where it's normal to be shot any minute, at school, in the mall and so on.

I wish you a bright future
