I grew up in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and grew up on a farm,
00:00:04.760
so we had livestock, that sort of thing,
00:00:08.238
so most of what I remember is just having to be on the farm
00:00:12.962
and take care of the animals and that sort of thing.
00:00:15.000
I couldn't get away from the farm soon enough.
00:00:18.285
Shoveling manure on Saturday night was not my idea of a good time.
00:00:22.372
In fact when I went to State a lot of it was the first time I got to do a lot of things.
00:00:28.893
Everybody that grows up on a farm knows that it's a lot of work
00:00:33.298
and you don't just get an eight-to-five.
00:00:36.740
The cow's having a calf you go out and take care of it
00:00:39.427
or if it's time to bale hay you do it 'til it's done,
00:00:42.937
so it's hard, and for a lot of young people it's not a lot of fun.
