My Story

It is a great pleasure to greet you through this letter. I hope you are doing well wherever you are. My name is Axel Daniel, and I am 18 years old. I am attending school, and I am in 11^th grade; it is the second year of my training in business administration. I have a friend, and his name is Alex. We met 5 years ago, and we like playing videogames together. I tell you that I went to a water park called Xocomil, and it is located in another department of Guatemala. God took care of me during this trip; it has been one of my best experiences.

I live with my parents. My father earns a living by selling newspapers in Chimaltenango’s market (it is a nearby department), and thankfully, he is in good health. My mother helps with the home income by making and selling tortillas in the next town. I identify with my mother because she has never left me alone and has always supported me. Jesus is the center of my life, and He has helped me to go ahead in life. As a family, we are attending the Catholic Church, and we love Holy Week celebration because we can admire the carpets and processions. We are grateful to God for His blessings. My mom helped me with this letter, and we say goodbye to you for now with our best wishes.

Sincerely yours

Axel Daniel Quintana Gonzalez
