If you had the chance to leave the life you have now, what would you do?

Students from Fair-grounds Middle School, New Hampshire, US, chose to lead a special life for a week. They left the city and lived a different life by working on a farm. They handed over their cell phones and lived like any farmer’s children. And they enjoyed it!

“I didn’t know what would happen when we got there,” said Tyler Swift, 14, “but there were so many fun things. So much hard work, too. It was a challenge.”

“Getting up at 6 every morning, the students milked cows, spread hay(放置草料), and washed hundreds of sticky buckets(黏黏的桶). The hardest part was cleaning up piles of poop(成堆的排泄物) in the animal houses. It smelled bad, but it was lots of fun!

None of the students said no to the work. “With the farmers’ help, they did the work better and better. And they learned a lot more than just farming work.” said Rick Brown, a science teacher at Fair-grounds.

“You get to know who can do what and learn to work with different people. The children all showed great team work.” said Nick Quadros.
