I moved to the country with my mom after their divorce.

I was in high school.

I went from a suburban school district with 5000 seniors to a senior class of 58.

I instantaneously went from an average/above average student to straight A's.

It took a bit of time, but met some of the best quality friends there...like I never had before.

They were cautious, but curious and I ended up a well liked member of the community.

I also remember, as a kid, I mouthed about hating it. And I did return to the metro area after school.

But looking back, it was one of the best experiences of my life.

Because of it, I'm looking forward to purchase property out rural somewhere most entirely based on what I experienced prior.

It's a shock. It takes getting used to. There will be good days and bad days...but the overall is something to cherish.

A fantastic perspective, and life and attitude changing.
