When I attended high school in CT, I lived in a more rural place. As a result, I deeply feel the difference between living in urban and suburban.

Based on remote study experience in high school, I will not become a remote worker. Having a traditional job and collaborating with others in person can increase the possibility of solving emergency. Instead of stating the emergency through email and waiting for response anxiously, I can go straight to person that I want to talk with in the office. This will be same as solving other problem during working and significantly improve efficiency. Besides that, working in office can increase the chance of meeting others. Being able to talk with people can develop my mental health. As a result, I will choose to work in person with my colleagues. ]]> 2023-01-27 20:40:45 UTC https://padlet.com/zifeng_zhan/g44960cnmzz6e2kt/wish/2459454639 zifeng_zhan https://padlet.com/zifeng_zhan/g44960cnmzz6e2kt/wish/2459566338 2023-01-28 01:01:35 UTC https://padlet.com/zifeng_zhan/g44960cnmzz6e2kt/wish/2459566338 zifeng_zhan https://padlet.com/zifeng_zhan/g44960cnmzz6e2kt/wish/2459575787 2023-01-28 01:31:30 UTC https://padlet.com/zifeng_zhan/g44960cnmzz6e2kt/wish/2459575787 zifeng_zhan https://padlet.com/zifeng_zhan/g44960cnmzz6e2kt/wish/2459576312 2023-01-28 01:33:07 UTC https://padlet.com/zifeng_zhan/g44960cnmzz6e2kt/wish/2459576312 zifeng_zhan https://padlet.com/zifeng_zhan/g44960cnmzz6e2kt/wish/2459577548 More and more people deciding to move to cities is a trend or event that happen right now in society.
