This is Mariana Angelica del Rosario Castillo Jerez, and I am glad to share my 2025 news with you. I am 11 years old, and I am excited because my birthday is getting closed. To celebrate it, my family usually buys a delicious cake. I am in sixth grade now. After classes, I enjoy spending time with my sister, Dairy. She is my best friend. Our favorite pastime is playing soccer. If you ask me who Jesus is to me, I will say He is important in my life. Thanks to him, my whole family and I are healthy. I identify with my grandmother because she takes care of me while my mom works. She supports our family by making and selling tortillas at home. We are a catholic family, so mass is the most important activity in our church. We like it because it helps us to strength our faith. This is all for now, but I want you to know that my mom and I were glad to share all this information with LW just for you.  

Sincerely yours,  

Mariana Angelica del Rosario Castillo Jerez
