My Story

Hello! I fondly greet you, wishing you a lot of blessings and success in everything you do. I want you to know that I am deeply grateful because you are taking some minutes of your time to read my information. My full name is Jaime De la Cruz Grave, and I am 11 years old. I am pleased to share that I passed third grade last year. My family and I praise God’s name because He has given me the wisdom to learn everything I need at school. I am in fourth grade. I love meeting my friends and playing soccer with them. My best friend’s name is Manuel. Jesus is my Savior, and I like learning about Him at my church. My family and I are members of Life Christian Church. We enjoy taking part in the Thanksgiving services because they are engaging.

I tell you that my whole family and I are healthy. I identify with my mother because she takes care of my siblings and me. She is a great housewife and dedicates part of her time to raising and selling domestic animals to contribute to the household expenses. We have chickens and pigs at home. As for my father, let me tell you that he works in a convenience store in the city. He is often in touch with us and visits us once a month. It is time to say goodbye, but I want you to know that my mother and a member of the LW staff helped me write this letter. Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about me!

Sincerely yours,

Jaime De la Cruz Grave
