My Story

Hello! My name is Maria Alejandra Otoy De Leon, and I am so glad to greet you. Praise God, I am in good health, I am 9 years old. I like to celebrate my birthday with my family, and we usually share a special meal or cake on this date. I was attending face-to-face classes this year, it was wonderful for me to study in this way because I could learn so much better, and I was in 3^rd grade. Thankfully, I had the necessities to study; I know it was possible thanks to God and to the effort of my parents. I have not thought about what I want to be when I grow up, but I trust that God will guide me to take the best decision. What I do know is that I would like to learn English. My favorite beverage is mango refreshment. I love playing basketball, and the season of the year I like the most is summer because I like hot weather.   

I am so grateful to God for the life and health of my parents; they are well, and my father works to cover our needs. He earns a living by working in a plant nursery where he waters and fumigates the flowers. My mother is a housewife, and she does the cleaning and takes care of us. Thankfully, God has provided the necessities, and we praise Him for everything He does for us. At home, we have four cats as pets, and we are not able to cultivate any products since we do not have a place to do it. We started attending the Catholic Church, and we from time-to-time attend mass. Before to say goodbye, I want you to know that my mother gave this information to the Evangelism teachers. I wish you many blessings in everything you do, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kisses and Hugs
