My Story

Hello! I am so glad to greet you by this means and share something about my family and me. My name is Jhoostyn Waldemar Munoz. I am 13 years old because my birthday was on November 24th, and what I like to do for my birthday is eat cake if my mother can buy me one. I was in 6^th grade this year. I studied at home, so I would not have to pay for transportation and the food for recess. My mother could save this money. It was difficult for my mother to cover my school fees since everything is more expensive now, and it is why I am so grateful to her for the effort she makes to support me. My favorite sport is soccer, and the beverage I like the most is soda. like Christmas because I burn firecrackers. I would like to become a professional soccer player in the future, and I also want to learn English. In general, I am in good health. I have been having problems with gastritis, but I am already under a medical treatment to get better. I am so happy to be part of the feeding program because they always bless me in different ways.

Thankfully, my mother finds herself in good health, and she works so hard to cover my needs by working as a maid three times per week. My stepfather has a hernia in his spine, and due to this condition, he is not able to work all the time, only when he feels better. He works as a mason’s helper but does not contribute to my expenses. At home, we have some hens that we raise for our consumption; we do not have a place to plant crops, and our main needs are corn, groceries, and corn. As a family, we are members of Assembly of God Church, and we go every Wednesday and Saturday. My mother gave this information; I say goodbye to you for now, and I hope to hear from you soon.

Many Blessings,

Jhoostyn Waldemar Munoz
