In these times I have noticed that people migrate, many times to other countries, cities. However, one that is not normally talked about is moving from a rural area to an urban area, it sounds relatively easy to do this, however, it takes many things with it. A long time ago when I was a little girl, my family and I had to move from a beautiful place such as the countryside, this given that the living conditions in that place had become complicated, we used to obtain several of our own food, but unfortunately the climate was not suitable for the plantations. At the same time, the sale of these foods was an important livelihood for my family, so over time this got worse economically. It was becoming more and more difficult to bring money home and to be able to return to our normal life.

One of the questions that many people have is that if the lifestyle changes when we move from the country to the city, in my case the change was not dramatic, since I basically grew up in the city, so I did not feel a sudden change in my life, my grandfather has told me that his life changed drastically since now his work was even more arduous than in the field, since to have a good quality of life it is necessary to earn more money than we spend, Food and housing were even more expensive than in the fields, so they thought they would have to go back to the fields, but my family tried even harder because with the passage of time the field work would be more complicated.

For this we had to define if the change that took place in this period would be good or bad, in this aspect there are two options, since at the time some examples of things that benefited my family were positively and negatively affected; Having basic services close and accessible to anyone such as hospitals, schools, among others, also one of the most notorious was the job opportunities they obtained, since when they arrived in the city their chances of getting a job were much higher than in the field, The disadvantages that my family suffered from this change was that they had to adapt to a new way of life since groceries were even more expensive than in the countryside, so they had to work even more until they could adapt to the rhythm of the city. They also suffered from the lack of tranquility that arises in the city since people are very active from early in the morning until late at night.

In conclusion, people who wish to migrate from a rural area to an urban area, should carefully review the pros and cons of this decision since this entails several things that can directly affect a lifestyle, make the best decision to have a life fully envisioning the future in various aspects. Both places have their advantages and disadvantages, so people should do what suits them best.
