  From the camp to the town: My family’s experience on migration   By Anahi Altamirano 🏦 🚙==< 👴👵👩<-- ⛺ 17 November 2021 Hello, my name is Anahi and I am practically a simple, normal teenager from the town I live in, Quito. Every day I go to school 📕, study 📐, have lunch🍛, play video games👾, read a little bit📚, and go to sleep😴. I live in a busy town; therefore, I am used to the neon lights in the buildings, the traffic sounds coming through my window every night, and the stressful vibe this town’s people have. But recently I discovered these things aren’t common for everyone. Note: Me being shocked like :O Last week I was sitting in my study room doing some math homework when my grandpa came in and offered me juice and cookies, I accepted and while I ate the cookies, he started telling me a story about the camp we used to live in. At the beginning I didn’t care much but eventually he got to the point of my family moving to the city we live in now, I thought th...

 18 November 2021  The new change of modality  By: Israel Burbano  My name is Israel, I was born in 2005 in Quito, but for a great variety of my life, I was living on the coast of Ecuador, on a farm owned by my father. Every day we do not stop moving, I am one of the people who is used to not staying active all the time in which I look for ways in which we can do a job to prosper on the ground. One day when my parents told me that I had to return for reasons of returning to the place where I came from and to spend more time with my family, because the truth was I was very nervous because it was more than 2 years that I did not see my uncles and cousins, On the other hand, I agreed but for me, the change of modality was not easy, I felt very sad in the fact that every day I was no longer going to see my bulls or chase the horses in the racecourse or go to the river to swim with my inflatable boat. The first day I was in my house, it was a weekend, Saturday of 2013, I ...

CHANGING THE PERSPECTIVE

  CHANGING THE PERSPECTIVE: 15- year-old Kiveth 17 November 2021 So, I’m going to tell a little bit about my experience moving from a rural area to an urbanized area, the perspective I have now as a teenager and what I remember from those times when I was 5 years old. As I said when I was 5 years old my family and I, had to leave the small town where we lived because we started having economic problems, besides, the situation in that area was very dangerous, the conflict was displacing many families from the area, so we decided to leave the town, my family didn’t think much about it, because, our lives could have been in danger if we were in the middle of any of the armed conflicts. My grandparents, my aunts, uncles cousins next to my parents and I decided to walk a long time along the path full of stones, I remember well that because after a while my feet began to hurt a lot, after a long time, we managed to finish our way in a bus, and that’s when we got to town. Surely you...

The event that changed my life

17 november, 2021 Can you imagine how I and my family felt when we had to move from the rural area to the city? If you are one of those children who were part of the migration at some point in their life,you can have an idea of what I felt, but despite that, I will be very grateful if you answer this question in the comments: How do you think I felt at that time? And yes, I was excited, surprised but also scared.

The experience of my family migrating to the city 17 November 2021   I'm Ana Sánchez, and I have been living in the city since I was very little, we moved when I was three years old, so all I pretty much know is my life in here. I’m used to my normal routine: waking up, going to school, going back home, sleeping. But it hasn’t been always like that. I was recently revealed by my grandfather how my family lived when we were in the countryside. I don’t have many memories of that, so I was shocked to discover how different life had been for us back then. It was last week, a normal Saturday morning, when my grandpa said that he was going to tell me a little story. He started narrating how our family had for generations lived in our farm in the countryside and learned how to raise cattle and cultivate crops for their own. From what he says he remembers, it was a tiring but very peaceful life.  But still there were a lot of things that my family didn’t have: access to a proper...

If you are moving from a rural area to a city, you probably read this

Image
By: Tatiana Fonseca When I was 5 years old my parents decided to move from a small town called Yaruqui to the city of Quito because my father had gotten a job where he was paid more and my mother, like my father, got a new job where she worked fewer hours. Since I was little I do not remember most of what I lived with my grandparents. Now that we went to visit my grandparents and I was almost 16 years old, my grandfather decided to explain to me how hard it was for them to let us go and he explained how it affected our relationship with my grandparents.  This surprised me because as I was a little, I thought that it did not affect anyone in my family, my grandfather while crying told me how in the afternoons he had no one to play with since he always spent them playing with me and at night he only thought about my family. My grandmother told me that for a long time she was sad because she always cooked for the whole family and now that she only had to cook for two people she felt b...

A different perspective of migration: Have you migrated to other country? As a person who has moved from their country to other, my grandfather tell me a story about how migration give us some challenges. When I have 10 years old my family have move to other country because of some problems like money, no job opportunity, the situation have been difficult to everyone, so my dad take the actions, he told us that the situation was going to get worse so the better decision was to move earlier so we could stay trying to have better lives in other country. My life was going well at first, I didn’t expect that I would become stressed and felling bad at the first time. My grandfather told me that when we move at first time the documentary for changing to other country was too heavy, he told me that when we were moving to the other country, they saw how other persons were in terrible conditions not like us, that other people was been reported to their countries because they didn’t have t...
 Joel Totoy  Migration Since I was child me mude   Ever since I have conscience I remember having always lived in the same house, with the same furniture, the same rooms, and the same walls always. I don’t recall ever living in a house other than the one I am currently in. In my mind I have the memory that I have always lived in the same house. In fact, I already know the whole city, I know all the streets, the shopping centers, the parks, and the main buildings of my city.   Yesterday afternoon I saw my grandfather sitting in the living room alone, so I decided to go talk with him, we started talking about how I was doing at school, and different experiences that he told me about his life. At that time, when he told me about his experiences of his life, he mentioned the issue that many years ago my family and I moved house, but not only was that, but we moved from a rural area to the city, but I don’t remember that   He told me that that time when...
