The correct answer to this open question is the following.
I would like to want to write about the challenges of homesteading in my journal entry.
The main points I will use in my journal entry would be the following.
I would first clearly define what homesteading is. Then I will include some context or history of homesteading in America. Then, I would like to briefly write about the advantages and disadvantages of homesteading; its positives and negatives.
What followed would be to describe major challenges of homesteading, stating that this is not for everyone. You really have to love nature, immerse in agriculture techniques, know about plants, be calm in nature, be responsible for the wildlife, and be determined to be self-sufficient.
