My Story

This is Jesmider Isamar, and it is a pleasure to share a little about my life with you. I attend a Christian Church called Hebron Hills. My family and I attend our services four times per week. It is very good to hear from the Almighty there. The LW staff also shares the gospel with us. One of them encouraged my family and me to continue trusting in God, while he collected this information for you. We are grateful to them for their spiritual support. My father, Henry, sells assorted products in the street, and so does my mother. Her name is Monica and she usually sells hygiene products. We have ornamental plants at home. Fortunately, we are all in good health.

I am fourteen years old, and I attend ninth grade. I like receiving face-to-face classes because I consider it the best school method, and I can spend time with my friends. Paying for my school expenses has not been easier for my parents. Everything is expensive and their sales have decreased. Our priorities are food supplies and a wardrobe. Being a psychologist is one of my biggest dreams, so I am doing my best at school. Holy Week is my favorite festivity throughout the year. I take advantage of this to hang out with my brethren. The English and Korean languages catch my attention, so I hope to learn how to speak them someday. My next birthday will be in August. I love having fried mojarras and drinking my favorite drink, raspberry tea, to share and celebrate with my family. Swimming is a relaxing sport, so I like it so much. I say goodbye to you now, but I hope you find this letter engaging.

From the bottom of my heart,

Jesmider Isamar Jolmna Pirir
