Challenge
Hometown
Tell me about growing up in your hometown, and how it shaped who you are today. I want to know the good, the bad, and the ugly. Prose only.
I grew up in a small town. There were farms everywhere. Though I never lived on a farm, I would wake up everyday to go help my neighbor on his farm in exhange for eggs. Waking up early to go to work at the age of ten was my desicion. In doing what I did, I learned very young that if you work hard you can acheive many things. I learned that when you help your neighbor's, life around the neighborhood can be quite peaceful. Learning these lessons at a young age has made me continue to live this way even into adulthood. The only thing that has changed from then until now is that I no longer wish for anything in return.
