The Hutterites start school around the age of three. Education is very important to the Hutterites. At the age of 15 they are finsihed with their education. Instead of English, they learn German. After they graduate when they are 15, most do not go to college. Instead, they help out with the community and to the works of an adult. The children are not ready to work yet. There are many jobs that need to be done in the Hutterite colony. For example, farming, teaching, butchering, and cleaning the house. During my stay, Jake and I had to take the hard tasks. But it was all worth it. Jake taught me how to harvest crops, butcher, and read the bible. I am so glad he took time to show me how to do the tasks. When I go back to America I will grow my own crops and harvest them. I will practice what I have gained from this visit.
