What did you eat on your first time ever on a plane?

So the idea of an airplane, to me, I remember for the longest time in my life, in my world, airplanes were the white things that just fly out in the sky, and you see that little white trail, and that was about that, and you just waved at it, and you thought those people were going actually, you don't even think there were people. I don't even think we had one TV station when I was growing up

Being born in Rwanda in 1990 and growing up there until 2009 in a very poor neighborhood, I NEVER thought I’d ever get in a plane. Here is the story.

What a journey. Thanks for taking us on it. Wow, man, I'm so happy to hear, you know, your story and what you went through and the eyewitness account on what it was like and the heck yes to both. Dude, that's such an awesome response. I never even thought thought that it was possible to say both. And I can't tell you how many times I've flown on an airplane where there was food served

From food on a plane to being 8 years old :)

And I was playing soccer not with a soccer ball, but, like, some makeshift thing that we put together in some, like, plastic bag. We'll put condoms in there. Go figure, right? We'll take condoms and we'll put water in it, and we'll just put a little air and then we'll just wrap them. We just close the thing and then we'll just wrap them with plastic bags. Just a lot of plastic bags

But actually I didn't eat because I had bad information about the food. In the praying of people, they told me that those foods are no good, or whatever you can for me and whatever you are in the prayer, you can discuss yourself. So I decided not to eat the food because my fruit was not even a long time. It was just from around six to 7 hours. So I just lived it. I decided to not eat anything, but I was just careful not to

I would have eaten that food and I would have wanted to see myself puke, and then I would be like, okay, I vomited, therefore I don't like food on a plane. But man, to let somebody else tell me something that they did or what happened to them and helped me not do it. No, that's how people limit you, man. That's how people limit you by almost like putting their fears in you. And now you're scared because they're scared
