My Story

This is Juan Kokaib Aguilar Vasquez, and I am glad to share my news with you through this letter. I am a healthy 15-year-old boy. I attend school as an eighth grader. After classes, I enjoy playing soccer with my friends. We also get together to do homework. I love learning about farming. I remember attending a seed course near my house. It was a fantastic and helpful experience. I am glad because I could attend the training. Now, let me tell you about my family. I identify with my sisters because they love and take care of me. When they visit my parents and me, they usually buy food or something useful for us.

My father is a day laborer and farmer. Luckily, he is doing well thanks to the treatment that he has to control his diabetes. On the other hand, my mom is dedicated to doing the household chores. She also weaves and embroiders traditional clothes to sell and contribute to the expenses. I will leave you now, but I appreciate you taking the time to read my information. My father helped me write this for you. May God bless you!

Cordiality yours,

Juan Kokaib Aguilar Vasquez
