My Story

This is Nathalie Rocio, and I praise the Lord for allowing me to greet you through this letter. I hope this finds you having a great day. Let me tell you that my family and I are members of a Catholic community called St Pablo. We usually attend it on Wednesdays. Sadly, I know nothing about my father. However, I have an extraordinary mother who has been on my side when I have needed her the most. Her name is Maria Ramirez, and she cleans houses. Her job is unstable, so it has been a little complicated for her to cover my school expenses. Our priorities are food, shoes, and school support. Despite troubles, our health is in good condition.

I am eighteen years old and my biggest dream is to become a doctor. I also would like to learn how to speak English. Nowadays, I am in the eleventh grade of training in computers. I prefer to receive face-to-face classes because this method is the best to increase your knowledge. I love going for walks, so I take advantage of summer to do it. My favorite drinks are tamarind and Coca-Cola. My birthday was in July and I enjoyed it a lot. When it comes, my family prepares a delicious lunch and buys a cake to celebrate my day. Do you like sports? My favorite sport is soccer. This is all for now, but I hope to hear your answer someday. See you later!

With much love,

Nathalie Rocio Santay Ramirez
