2. Sometimes it seems that humans can attach
themselves to a territory—a farm, a body of
water, or a forest grove. Over time this place
even shapes perceptions and perspectives on
what it is like to be human; this territory
almost becomes holy. Raised on a farm and
influenced by the land, I grew to realize that
the family farm shaped my personality
while instilling values. What became so
significant about this experience were not
only the endless hours of work and the old
equipment needing repair, but also the many
personal rewards that outweighed the work.

3. Sowing and then
reaping
on my family farm greatly shaped my
personality and gave me values.
It meant not only long hours to complete
tasks and repair old
equipment, but also countless
rewards.
