Growing up living outside of the big cities and suburbs is like being homeschooled. You don’t know much about things that occur inside these places due to the fact you are living in the country. Many things might not be that easily understood because you are not use to these certain norms that others might have. However, there are positives to living in the country such as learning independence and self-reliance. You don’t have to pay a water bill as you have most likely a well in the ground you get water from to your house. Another aspect of living out in the country is hard work. You learn so much about how to work in a place that builds your confidence and knowledge and you learn how things work rather than relying on others to know how to do something. Thirdly, you are stronger than most other people you age due to working on tasks such as lawn mowing, and yard work that strengthens your muscles. Living in the country also gives you a sense of pride after the work you have done for the day. After doing daily chores you feel as if you have taken on the world, because each task takes more effort than just chilling watching Netflix.

Taking the time to work hard and get each job accomplished correctly give you a well done satisfied feeling of working and finishing. It also builds character and helps you learn about hard work. While many could find this in their home within a city setting, there are not many people in the world who work hard. This is due to our society and being part of instant gratification with our technology. No longer do you have to work at all for your home, instead you can call someone or use an app to get these jobs done. Overall living in the country has taught me good life lessons and taught how to have a good work ethic to apply to the rest of my life.
