My Story

It is a great blessing for me to share my information through this, I hope you are blessed alongside your family! Praise the Lord my family and I attend Catholic Church; we go on Sundays. We appreciate so much the encouraging words that LW staff gave us to continue attending church. Thanks to God, I am healthy and so is my family. My mother is Ana Isabel Montezuma, and she is 51 years old. She continues sweeping the streets and the market for municipality. She also contributes to cover the home expenses. My father is Hugo Ramiro Hernandez Colaj, and he is 57 years old. He works as a truck driver and delivers construction materials for Mayablock company. He supplies the family's needs. Our pet is a dog.

I am Ana Gabriela Hernandez Montezuma, and I am 18 years old. This year I started criminology at the university, and this career lasts five years. I receive classes face-to-face, and I think is the best way to learn. My parents are doing their best so that I have what I need for my studies, but now everything has increased in cost. I trust in God to accomplish my goal to become a criminologist. The English language catches my attention, and I would like to learn how to speak it. I want to tell you that I love lemonade, and it is my favorite drink. The climate I prefer is Autumn because is not hot or cold. Swimming is the sport I like the most. Something I like to do on my birthday is to share a cake with my family; I love spending time with my loved ones. Being part of Living Water program is a great blessing for me because I have received support in different ways which is helping my family a lot. I say goodbye to you for now. Many and rich blessings to you!

Kind regards,

Ana Gabriela Hernandez Montezuma
