My Story

Hello! How are you doing? My name is Karen Cecilia, and I am glad to greet you through this letter. Before telling you my news, I want you to know that my father and I gave all this information to a member of the AAC team. We are grateful to him because he has always shared the gospel with us. We attend a Catholic Church called Santo Cura de Ars. We usually do it on Sundays. My father is Oscar Rene Caal Guzman, and he is 40 years old. He continues working as a sales promoter for a pharmaceutical company. My mom is Floridalma Sapon Ventura, and she is 35 years old. Thankfully, she continues working for a company that produces spices. As for health, let me tell you that my whole family is in good health. We do not have a lot of pets at home. We only have a lovely dog.

Now, I want to tell you a little bit more about me. I am a 15-year-old healthy lady. This year, I attended school as an eighth grader. I prefer to receive face-to-face classes because it helps me to learn so much more. Covering my school supplies was hard for my parents because they have to pay many bills. Some of our greatest needs are a new bed and food. My favorite sport is soccer. I would love to continue studying because I want to become an architect and speak English. Therefore, I would love to count on your prayers for me. My favorite holidays are Christmas and Holy Week because I have days off and I love spending those moments with my family. My favorite drinks are vegetable juices. I love going out with my family to celebrate my birthday. I say goodbye to you for now but thank you so much for reading my news. Take care of yourself!

From the bottom of my heart,

Karen Cecilia Caal Sapon
