Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I have owned a bull that has relieved me from the burden of hiring oxen to plough my farm land. I am now in position to provide for my family in that, we now have three meals a day. Further more, the transfer made it possible for me to settle my son's medical bills which has given me a peace of mind. Before receiving this transfer, my family at times had a single meal a day because I had to save the little money I could got for hiring oxen.
