Have you taken a DNA test?

I want but i have no money. For a student that is a luxury.

No. I did make my parents take a DNA test, however.

I did buy a MyHeritage DNA kit for myself while I was nervously waiting for their results, but I haven't yet bothered doing the swab nor sending it in. After seeing their results, I'm not particularly curious about seeing my own. I'm just a combination of them anyway. Maybe I'll get to doing it someday, if my interest about my own results peeks.

No, but I am planning on taking one soon.

Yes, it was one of the best things I did in my life for many reasons

It gave me a new interest that helped me connect with other people and meet new people, it got me to learn more geography, I learned neat new things about genetics, I made interesting connections with some DNA relatives, it got me to learn more about history and migrations, I learned a few useful health-related things, I learned there's a bit more in my background than I thought, and I always have something to look forward to with occasional updates and new reports.
