I can connect with how the weather is always changing and it doesnt always stay the same.

The Ozarks shapes who we are by maybe if we are on vacation our connection to it might make us miss this place. I know multiple people like that including me

I learned that sometimes in the darkest of situations, sometimes its not always easy. we may be comfortable in our home eating cornbread and watching netflix but sometimes. We just need just need to reevaluate yourself and think about all the troubling time we as a human race endure.

How have my experiences living in the Ozarks shaped who I am?

In the fifty's females had job offerings of being an secretary and they would make only 30 dollars here while in a different place they made about 50

Being that I've only lived here a little over a year, I can't say it's shaped me really at all. If anything it's made me more cynical in my thinking. I trust less living here than I did where I come from. It is pretty green, though.

I can connect with how the environment is so unreliable and how it's very hard to live here.

But also it is so pretty with every season

I learned true hatred when I moved here from Northern Illinois (Chicago). I don't like living here. Somethings are sorta neat like all the crime and poverty (since its cool to research about). I learned that all the turkey and deer were ate so the Missouri Department of Conservation was founded to get them back. Also, weather is weird.

As someone who has not always lived in the Ozarks (I moved frequently through many states) I can say that People are not defined defined by the places they live. While culture can influence people it is in no way the defining factor of a person. (I mean look at Mr. Murr)

The ozarks shaped me because of all of the family traditions that have been passed on for years and years. I always love learning about the ozarks and the history behind it. Each time I go the lake and see mother nature at her finest, it makes me proud

It has made me become more self aware, more observant. Living here, I have become accustomed to the lifestyle. I no longer cringe to country music and 🤬 talk because I'm just so used to it.  - AH

# data[].attributes.body
I haven't lived here that long so I don't think the Ozarks have shaped me much but the weather changes a lot here

# data[].attributes.body
I learned about how the population of deer and turkey has increased and about how hunting them on a big chunk of land is a good time with the boys. A connection is I have been on a big chuck of land with my buddies.

The Ozarks have shaped me in various different ways. One of the largest ways it has shaped me is by teaching me not to trust a 10 day weather forecast.

I learned that the weather of the ozarks makes gardening hard because plants bloom to early and get killed by the frost.

Living in the ozarks has made my veiw of wildlife and nature more vivid allowing me to really apreciate the outdoors, it has also centerd my veiw on the importance of communication and meeting new people makeing me a more socaial and outgoing person.

I think that being raised and born in the Ozarks has shaped me in the sense that I may have desensitized myself to some of the things that the Ozarks has in comparison to other areas of the U.S, due to me having been raised here all of my life.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned about the people that were here before us. The person talked abo
ut the weather and how it is crazy, and how our nature is really something special. Living in the Ozarks has shaped me in the way to be ready for any type of weather at any time whether it is raining, snowing, really hot, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
As someone who has lived here my whole life, it's been interesting and fun. Listening to another voice talk about their experience is very interesting and reminded me that often, common sense is not that common, as said in the podcast, "I was in denial that something this bad could happen."
