Why I Chose Farming Instead of School
Because I didn’t want to sit under fluorescent lights when I could be under the sun.Because I wanted to touch the soil, not just read about it in textbooks.
In school, they gave me diagrams.On the farm, I held life in my hands — seeds, roots, worms, seasons.
Farming taught me patience.It taught me rhythm.It taught me how everything has its time — not like school, where you're rushed, ranked, and told to "keep up."
I didn’t want marks on paper.I wanted mud on my fingers.
Out here, every morning is a lesson.Rain teaches surrender.Failure teaches resilience.Growth is slow, but it’s real.
I chose farming because it felt honest.Because it reminds me I’m part of something bigger.Because it keeps me grounded — literally.
