Correa was born to a lower-middle-class family in Guayaquil, Ecuador’s largest city, in April 1963. He had a difficult upbringing, and his family struggled financially. His father was sentenced to a five-and-a-half-year prison sentence when he was caught smuggling cocaine into the United States. After finishing school, Correa was awarded a scholarship to study at Guayaquil’s University, where he graduated with a degree in economics in 1987.
He spent some time teaching indigenous children, trying to improve literacy rates, and subsequently learned the indigenous language, Quichua.

On Sept. 30, 2010, chaos ripped through the South American nation of Ecuador — my home. To this day, the date is fresh on Ecuadorians’ minds. We remember it as 30S, short for 30 de septiembre.
Then-president Rafael Correa, who served as president from 2007 to 2017, confronted an angry mob of revolting policemen. Through a line-item veto of a law, Correa had stripped the police and military of some economic benefits they previously held. Correa’s decision didn’t sit well with the police, so they took to the streets to protest.
The events of that day changed my family forever. Correa was incredibly intolerant of critics. He called the press “the enemy of the people” years before former U.S. President Donald Trump did.
