Answer:
A few years ago, the village my fathers from started to crop wheat in the state of Punjab, India. They went around our farm, tossing little wheat seeds everywhere. Every harvest, we would bring back the wheat which would arguably provide our village and the rest of the villages close by with increased food availability. The task achieved major success. My life has been impacted by this occurring immensely. Similar to what Dr. Charles Quist-Adade did, I believe my village back home is responsible for wheat availability in the entire region which surrounds my father’s village. If it was not for my father’s village, no one in the region would be able to know what wheat-associated-food tasted like. It feels good knowing that I made a difference in this world. After all, wheat is one of the most important food crops in the entire world. Wheat is our bodies lead source of energy; it provides our bodies with carbohydrates, a foremost foundation of liveliness. It feels good knowing with my support, empty stomachs are filled with food and people are living a worthy, fit, and healthy lifestyle.
