While studying abroad in England, Sarah heard a country music song that changed her perspective on family and home. This experience led her to appreciate American country music and its reflection of traditional values from the southern states. Country music has become a source of comfort and belonging for Sarah, contrasting with modern songs that focus on money and success rather than community ties.
