My Story

Hello! This is Alicia Carolina Grave Chivalan, and I lovingly greet you from the engaging Quiche. I am 13 years old and I want to share my news with you. Before starting, I want you to know that my mother and a staff member of LW helped me write this letter. I am pleased to share that I had good scores at school last year. I am in sixth grade now. I am sure that Jesus has given me wisdom and the desire to learn all I need to build my future. So, I can say He is my helper and strength.

Now, let me tell you about my family. My mother is dedicated to taking care of my siblings and me, while my father works. I admire them both. My father had to travel to the United States a few years ago. He has a job as a butcher and sends us money monthly. I am grateful to God because my whole family and I are healthy. We are members of Life Christian Church. All the services are engaging, especially the First Fruit presentation. To end this letter, I want you to know that my best friend’s name is Vilma. We have been friends for many years. We usually gather to play soccer. Until next time!

Kisses and hugs,

Alicia Carolina Grave Chivalan
