My parents mailed my bike to me in Tennessee Background, Context, and Assumptions Wise can be economic Best reasons to agree  (+): I had a lot of good experience. Growing up with my closes brother being 8 years older than me, it was good for me to see what other people were like.  Going on a mission forced me to grow up, and become who I am. I lived by myself.
