My Story

What a blessing to write you again! I hope you are having a wonderful day together with your family. Thank you so much for taking the time to read about my life. I personally gave all this information to the LW teacher to share with you. Let me tell you that we continue attending the Catholic Church every Sunday. I live with my mother and stepfather. My biological father`s name is Jose Angel Barrios Garcia. He is 42 years old. He works as an accounting clerk. He has another family with whom he lives, but he helps us economically. My stepfather`s name is Carlos Raul Soberano. He is 42 years old. He is a nurse and contributes to the income at home. My mother`s name is Mayra Griselda Gonzalez. She is 40 years old. She just spends her time at home since she still has renal insufficiency. Once again, I would like your prayers for her because it is a hard process that she is living. We do not have any pets at home.

I am Hamy Giselle Barrios Gonzalez. I turned 15 years old in July. I finished my 8^th grade this year and I did not repeat. I like to share with my friends at school and see my teachers because they help me to solve my doubts. For that reason, I think that face-to-face classes are better than online. I thank God for helping us always to supply our necessities, especially with my studies. My aspirations for the future are to become an Interior designer or a Chef. Summer is the season that I like most because we have vacation. Some of the languages that I am interested to learn are English, German and Japanese. For my birthday, I would like to spend time with my friends watching a movie. About sports, my favorite one is basketball. Our basic necessities at home are food, shoes and a closet to keep our things. I just want to add that Living Water means a lot for me because we have been blessed and received a lot of support through the program. It is a great blessing for many families like ours. Well, I say goodbye sending you my best wishes and many hugs.

Best regards,

Hamy Giselle Barrios Gonzalez
