I've grown up on 60 acres pretty much my whole life. I got the cows, massive pond, farm truck, tractor, you name it. Once might think the country life gets old, but if you've never laid in the back of a pick up, in pasture and star-gazed all night (I have yet to do this...) then you're sadly wrong.
I've went to the same small school my whole life. The kind where everyone knows everyone, and everything about you, where the whole community is at the Friday night football game, we where cowboy boots with our athletic shorts, and the guys sneak snuff into the "tabacco -free" building. We also have a cattle guard at the entrance of it. I've pretty much grown up with all the people in my grade and I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't miss them when we graduate. They're like my family and even though we all get on each other's nerves a lot, we have each others backs at the end of the day, no doubt.
If you would've asked me 6 months ago, where I wanted to be in life, I would say the city-no questions asked. I wanted to go somewhere surrounded by lights and people. My mind soon began to change when Junior year approached. I pondered how I could ever leave such a lifestyle. Riding four wheelers, small town life, going to church every sunday...I realized this is where I belong and where I'll always come back. I don't know what it is about this town, but I love it and it'll always be my home.
