My Story

Hello! I want to start this letter by saying thank you so much for taking the time to learn about my life. I am Elmer Guadalupe Tzoy Garcia, and I hope you are doing well. I am 13 years old, and I am grateful to God for helping me at school. My heart was overjoyed when I received the elementary school diploma last year. Today, I attend school on the afternoon shift as a seventh grader. I love playing soccer with my friends in my free time. My best friend’s name is Max. I met him a few years ago. I want you to know that Jesus is the support of my life. I love learning about him and taking part in the different activities at my church. I attend the Catholic Church, and my favorite feast is Our Lady of Guadalupe.

About my family, I am pleased to tell you that I have a brave and hardworking mother. She is a single parent and provides me with food and other essentials with the income she gets from her convenience store. My grandmother also sometimes helps us with a little money. I get along well with all my relatives, especially with Oscar and Isabel. They are my uncle and aunt, and I enjoy spending time with them. This is all for now, but I hope you found this information engaging. Until next time!

Special regards,

Elmer Guadalupe Tzoy Garcia
