My Village

My village, which I love, my idol, where my father and mother raised my soul, I can't easily forget, not easily lost in my life, those are the words I dedicate to my beautiful village which has given a dark history, many interesting stories since I was born in a fertile and beautiful land. . the cool air is the most beautiful place to build a life without having to complain about air pollution.

My village is named Tumaratas. This name is taken from two large mahogany trees that grow close to each other and when the wind blows hard, the two large branches of this tree rub against each other, causing sounds and sounds that sound like Taretes' words so that the local residents and the old people come to the conclusion to give The name of my village is Tumaratas, which means two large wooden trees that live side by side which withstand strong winds so that the motto of my village is to support each other in difficult and happy situations.

My village is located on the slopes of a mountain with two protected forests that are still preserved because the source of clean drinking water comes from the forest so that the villagers are not worried about clean water problems. the bottom of the forest, the water is cool and original from the forest springs.

The people in my village always use clean water for drinking water needs and rarely use bottled water because they want to use natural water from nature to be part of the necessities of life because it is guaranteed to benefit the body. the water from the forest is indeed very fresh because it is filtered so naturally with tree roots that grow thickly in the protected forest area.

From these statistics, it is very clear that the majority of people living in the world of work are farmers because it is a source of income for the people in my village, which is famous for its monthly crops. Even outside the area, I recognize my village as a village that produces kitchen vegetables with good intensity.

The plant that is the original product of my village is

• Tomatoes

• Chilli

• Onion

• Corn

These plants have raised the economy in my village, they are even able to send their children to graduate school because of the support from agricultural income sources, they can even build houses to buy motorbikes and cars, all of which come from agricultural products. There are also many public and private employees who follow the farmer's way of working using a part-time system, meaning that after completing their office work, they go to the fields to cultivate crops.

The situation in my village, which is mostly farmers, greatly affects education, even the negative effects often fall on teenagers who do not want to go to school because they are happy in farming so that many of them do not continue their education because they are addicted to agricultural products, but on the positive side there are also many children. including me who succeeded in education up to a bachelor's degree because it was driven by agricultural products. So actually the education style in my village only depends on the willingness of each child to go to higher education because the source of funds for school fees is very open to get it because of the influence of agricultural products.

The residents of my village are 100% Christian according to the statistics above and the facts on the ground. so it is very unique when the big day of the Christian religion arrives as it is currently in the week of God's Passion before He was crucified or before Easter arrives, the people in my village will put up small crosses simultaneously in front of the house and many competitions are held every day. the year of the Easter celebration.

As for the existence of the majority population are men and some are women because there are also many immigrants from outside areas who live and settle in my village and most of them are men. The growth of teenagers to young people is indeed very concerning, not because they do work outside the area, but what happens in my village is marriage at an easy age, around the age of 17 to 18, they are married because they are no longer in school or do not continue their education to graduate school. it is very worrying, but because they are able to do farming, especially young men, they are not afraid to get married at an easy age.

My village is indeed very unique because the diversity that exists from every line of life is what makes me obsessed with making works about my village. even though I do work assignments in the office, but I always provide support for those in my village because of their work assignments that have raised the degree of my village even though it is only in agriculture.

Such is the story of my village, a small village on the slopes of a mountain and under a dense forest.
