My Story

I am Irma Delia De La Cruz Grave, and it is a big pleasure to share a little about my life with you. I am 14 years old, and I am grateful to God because He helped me so much at school last year. I passed fifth grade last year, which was a satisfying experience. I am in sixth grade and I am doing my best to have success at school again. I am so happy to share that I made a good friend when I was young. Her name is Marta, and we usually meet to talk. Now, let me tell you about my family. I identify with my mother because she takes care of my siblings and me. She is the best advisor I know. She also dedicates herself 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. I tell you that my whole family and I are healthy. We are members of Life Christian Church. We enjoy taking part in the Thanksgiving services because they are engaging. I tell you that I like my church because I have learned so much about Jesus, my Lord and Savior. This is all for now, but I hope you found my news engaging. Take care of yourself!

Kind regards,

Irma Delia De La Cruz Grave
