I think if you ask almost anyone, they would say farm kids are some of the hardest working people. I am very proud of the work ethic I have from being raised on a farm my whole life.

Growing up on a farm, during the week my parents worked their full time jobs and my siblings and I went to school while also being involved with sporting events, church and community activities, 4H, FFA and the list goes on, so the weekends were our time to get things done. Some tasks include pitching hog and cattle manure by hand, feeding round bales, running the cattle through the chute one at a time for shots, grinding feed, and unloading and stacking multiple wagons of small square bales into the barn on some of the hottest days. You can definitely argue that some of the stuff isn't very enjoyable, but it is what we have to do to keep our family farm operation running smoothly. There are definitely perks to living on a farm like going on 4wheeler rides, running through the creek, building forts in the hay mounds and cow pastures. I often thought that my friends who lived in town had it better than me because they were able to do fun stuff on the weekends instead of work, but looking back I am so grateful I was raised the way I was.
Having a strong worth ethic is something that will help anyone get through life. It is especially important when you are interviewing for a job to let your employer know you are a hard worker and will do anything asked of you. Even though growing up, and still today, some of the chores are not very fun, I remind myself that my family and I do it because we love it! When I start my own family I hope to raise them on a farm so that they get the same experience I did because looking back on it now, I appreciate all of the chores and responsibilities I had every day which helped raise me to have a strong worth ethic!
