Oh Ecuador, am i feeling high!
I have only been here about two months now, and my mind set has already changed. I might sound cliche but, being here in Ecuador made me appreciate what I have at home. I also remind myself that I am so blessed to have this opportunity at my age. I have to remind myself home will always be there. Nothing is really going to change, but the price of gold.
Coming from a wealthy country like USA to a developing country like Ecuador, it’s very easy to be judgmental. You have to take time to not have people understand you, but for you to understand them. When I do this, it advances my thinking in total about life itself. An open-minded person always benefits from his environment and the people in it. I’m living proof of it. I live life learning, and I can only do that by being open-minded.
At the end of the day I lay in bed with my net over it to keep me protected from the bugs. I lay there just thinking about the day, how far I came from being in Chicago, and I ask myself ” What is my long term goal in life?”. That answer is to be a better human being .
