I think that Farmer's living conditions were the most unique part of his youth. He experienced many different adventures compared to his peers whether on a boat or in a campsite.The thing that is similar amongst all families is the bond which families have. Obviously working with the Haitians for those few days had some impact on Farmer, and then his experiences with the Haitians he met in college.
I think that it is interesting that Farmer chose to not be like all the other people, he had opportunity and decided to take the other path, and to not blend into the crowd of scholars. I learned that while in college you have the tools and opportunities to decide who you want to become and how you want to become that person. I learned that it is a myriad of daily choices that lead us to where we will end up. He chose to daily hang out with the Haitians, and therefore he developed a passion for their history and culture.
