My Story

I hope you are having a blessed day with your lovely family! Thanks to God, my family and I are in good health. My mother is Etna Elizabeth Roman Lorenzana, and her current age is 34 years old. She stays busy with the housework and taking care of the family. My father is Juan Dionicio Chacon Rodriguez, and his current age is 36 years old. He earns a living by selling different kinds of products; he is a street vendor. We have two dogs as pets. At the moment, we are not attending any church.

This is Diego Ismael Chacon Roman, and I am 14 years old. I am attending 8^th grade; face-to-face classes are easy to comprehend. At the moment, my father is the only one who works to cover the home and school expenses; due to the bad economy, it is hard for him to cover all the expenses. I would like to continue with my studies and become a systems engineer in the future. The language I would like to learn is English. Of all drinks, my favorite is Coca-cola. The sport I like the most is volleyball. On my birthday, my parents take me out to someplace and share a good moment; we do it if my parents have resources. Let me tell you I like summer because my family and I enjoy playing games with water. Being part of the feeding program is a great blessing for me because I receive taste meals, but the most important, I receive God´s word. Our greatest needs are a stove and school supplies. This is all for now. Take care. May God bless you wherever you are!

Kind regards,

Diego Ismael Chacon Roman
