Shift from rural to city

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 did not adapt to the itinerary of the city, I just passed by standing, exercising my body without stopping, feeding chickens, on the road in I have absolutely nothing to do in the city, just being in the house playing video games or watching movies, it overwhelmed me a lot and I wanted to go out somewhere to do something, when I finished helping the farm keeper every afternoon I played volleyball on the court that we built ourselves, with two guadua canes. 

The first day I was in my house, it was a weekend, I felt very bad that psychologically the fact of being locked up without doing anything affected me, the change of climate also affected me, to return to a great certain height where oxygen is lost more, and when I went out to the park to play I could not breathe, I caught the altitude at every moment, I did not have a good time, but every living being adapts and gets used to the change of modality requiring time. After 1 month, I was eager to return to the field, I wanted to know how my animals were, especially my horses. Time passed for more than 1 whole year that I did not know anything about it, at that time we could not communicate, and to return, we had to spend a lot of gasoline and my father was not in the condition to spend so much money.

Every day I thought about going back and I always dreamed that I was there, I felt very bad, the fact of not having a clue what was happening on the farm, being there feels different, I feel true peace, not like in the city, a lot of crowds with people, a lot of traffic, a lot of noise generated by the traffic in the streets, it is not the same in the countryside, there is no one around you, only you and nature living with God's creation and passing it well.

Finally, I grew up and I have already reached a point where I stopped thinking about it, I was very distracted in class, I was focused on other things, thinking about what I am going to do on my next trip, until the pandemic arrived, in March 2020, I returned to the field and never again set foot in the city in my life, I stayed more than a year and a half enjoying with my family as I always have been thinking every day, now thanks to that I plan to study agronomic engineering abroad to help him, my father, to generate our own business.

  My blog 365 DEGREE TURN  By Yaren Carapaz    Well today I'm going to tell you everything my grandfather told me when they moved to a rural area with my whole family because of their work, to begin with we have to know why my family moved from the city to a rural place, which My grandfather told me that my family is, my grandfather tells me that my family had many problems at the beginning, such as communication, since where they were going to live was a very hidden place in the city and there was nothing around, so I had to ask light and signal to communicate. And it was not an easy task but they achieved it after much insistence and what my family did helped many more people who lived in that rural area to be able to have electricity and signal, my family was from the mountains and they were clearly used to the cold then When they went to the coast to live there was a very big climate change since clearly the coast is very hot, my family due to that weather ...
