3rd World Farmer Simulation

Tell me about the reasoning for your choices in the 3^rd World Farmer simulation and the implications of that reasoning. 

Initially I went into the simulation with the sole objective to make money! I figured if I could take care of my family and ensure our stability with the money I would make from crops! I soon realized that this would not be the case. I was faced with famish and health issues. Later in the simulation, I lost family members to illness. I never considered the fact that my farm could be subject to burglars and other misfortunes. Not to mention the need to purchase necessities in order to keep my farm going. Then when family members became sick, the medicine to aid in their health was very expensive. 

Even though the assignment for the course was to participate in the simulation for 18 cycles, I decided to do it again and change my strategy. I decided it was better to focus on the well-being of my family and consider all factors in keeping us alive, sheltered, safe, and fed.
