My Story

I feel my heart full of joy to have the opportunity to greet you cordially, hoping you are blessed by our Lord Jesus. My family and I are blessed because we belong to the Catholic Church and we celebrate the thanksgiving service where we pray for the seeds. My mother is assured of her salvation and she helped to collect this information for you. My parents are in good health, and my father is doing his best for our well-being. He continues working in the United States by looking after cows on the farm. He sends us money every fifteen days to cover our home expenses and he calls us. My mother is taking care of us and she does the homework. In addition, my mother raises hens to sell.  My father`s name is Rolando de la Cruz and my mother`s name is Rosa Barrera.

This is Alicia Maricela De la Cruz Barrera and I am not studying this year because I do not want to, but I help my mother doing chores at home. I passed the 6^th grade at school last year. God helped me to achieve my goal and I finished my primary grades. I identify with my mother because she takes care of me and loves me. Jesus is my friend and savior. I like to watch movies with my best friend and her name is Ashly. She is my sister. I am a 15 year old girl and I am thankful with God for my health. Thank you for you attention and I send you many blessings!

Warm regards,

Alicia Maricela De La Cruz Barrera
