"This is me, on any given day in the countryside. Cattle ranching is an important part of my life, just like my love for soccer. Welcome to my Padlet where I will share more about these and other things that interest me!"

Cattle Ranching

"The passion for the countryside and the love for animals are important things my father instilled in me since childhood. That's why seeing each animal reminds me of their worth and the importance of growing up with a father who helps you become a better person in society and in your interactions with animals."

Cattle Ranching

A passion for the countryside doesn't just lead you to love animals; it also becomes a way of life that guides you, making you dream about what you want until you reach a point where, if you work for it, you achieve it. And always remember that family should be part of the process so you can receive their support.

One of my biggest dreams is to have my own cattle ranch to support my family, and to distance myself a bit from what bothers me in society. I'd love to live alongside animals and nature. Besides being a job, it would also be a hobby.

Passion for Agriculture

Also, in this space, there must be a love for agriculture. I'm a fan of planting corn, beans, and squash alongside my mother and father. As a person from the countryside, these things make me happy just knowing that we have the soil resource to produce our own food that sustains the family.

Being in the mountains surrounded by trees, and listening every morning to the birds singing—both wild birds and yard birds—and even the dogs, then waking up to see a cloud-covered mountain and drinking a cup of coffee with freshly made tortillas from the griddle, these are some of the things I adore about country life. I strongly identify with humility and simplicity because that's where I grew up.

Passion for Soccer

This image really resonates with me because my passion for soccer runs in my blood, thanks to my father. These are things I'll never forget. Meanwhile, it's my turn to continue the legacy of having the courage to wear a pair of gloves and a different uniform, and to stand between the posts. Knowing it's a huge responsibility, I do it with passion for my dad. He's the one who supports me when I make mistakes, which helps me improve every day and build a strong mindset. In this sport, when you fail, it can make you feel less than.

Coffee Farming

Working with coffee allows you to be outdoors, in the mountains, surrounded by vegetation. There's a deep satisfaction in cultivating something from seed to cup, understanding nature's cycles and the climate's impact. Being a coffee grower means directly contributing to the livelihood of your family, your community, and your country's economy. In many places, coffee farming is a tradition passed down through generations. Keeping that heritage alive is a source of pride, connecting you with your ancestors and your family's history. Coffee cultivation requires deep knowledge of agronomy, pest management, harvesting, and post-harvest processes. It's a constant learning experience that keeps you active and helps you develop new skills.

My Country Style:

Being a country person, my clothes say a lot about who I am, no matter where I go. My plaid shirt and denim jeans have taught me that you don't need designer brands to look or feel good. Getting dirty with mud or cattle manure is actually fascinating for someone who loves what they do.

Accessories like carrying a pocket knife, wearing a cap, or a good hat don't make you better than anyone else, but they definitely make you feel unique in a society that often prefers to dress fashionably. It's about embodying a genuine lifestyle, one that truly resonates with who I am.

My hat

My hat always reminds me of my grandfather, keeping him close in my memories and thoughts. I'm so grateful to you for that, because you taught me that wearing a hat means self-affirmation and confidence.

My Workhorse Dream

My dad is incredibly passionate about the countryside, and one of my biggest dreams is to gift him the vehicle of his dreams: a Toyota Land Cruiser. I envision him using it not only for his work but also to transport workers and animal feed. It's my way of honoring his dedication to the land and making his daily tasks a little easier and more comfortable.

A Life Forged by Passion

This Padlet offers a glimpse into my world, where a deep passion for the countryside and a great love for animals form the core of who I am. These values, instilled by my father, have forged a life built on humility, simplicity, and respect for nature.

My dreams range from owning my own cattle ranch for my family's sustenance to the simple joy of farming alongside my parents—planting corn, beans, and squash. The peace of mountain mornings, the sounds of nature, and the comfort of homemade coffee and tortillas define my happiness.

My passion for football, also inherited from my father, reflects life's challenges. As a goalkeeper, I've learned responsibility and mental toughness, always supported by my family. My plaid shirt, jeans, and hat aren't just clothes; they symbolize an authentic identity that values substance over trends.

Finally, my dream of gifting my father a Toyota Land Cruiser is a sincere way to honor his dedication and ease his work. All these passions and dreams paint a clear picture of a life deeply connected to family, the land, and the simple joys that truly matter. THANKS.
