I've always been told that math is everywhere. That must mean, that math is in Africa at a military base full of children. But this isn't typical American studies. In lieu of worrying how many calories are in a meal, or the price/quantity of the items a person a buys, or even age, math for child soldiers in Africa is much different. Medical issues is really the only main aspect of mathematics that stands out. In fact, because youngsters are being kidnapped and deluded into combat, those kids miss out on schooling and education, therefore, not knowing much academics. Chief soldiers are cautious of how many children they recruit and the amount of money families of kid soldiers have. Commanders don't give a pig's snout for age and don't even worry about food supply or resources for the little ones. The tykes, however, worry more about how much vitamins they can manage in a week, the days before their leader kills them (or before they kill themselves) or how many tears they cry before their boss punishes them. Usually, the kids loose count of how many whips they got today or how many men had sex with them. That's their daily activity.
Comparing myself to them, I have a much more complicated yet pleasant study of math. In my daily life, I focus on balancing out my money, scoring goals and gaining points in games, buying the right sized clothes, etc. As you now know, Young soldiers in Africa have a very simple analysis of math. I'm thankful for my understanding of this subject, in addition to the lifestyle in which i use math.
