My Story

Hello! This is Alyson Nohemi, and I fondly greet you through this letter, hoping you are doing well. Before telling you my news, I want you to know that my mom helped me to give all this information to a LW teacher. My family and I attend a Pentecostal Church twice a week. We trust that Jesus is our Savior. Let me tell you that my mom and dad make a living as nurses to support our needs and expenses. Their full names are: Esvin Jeremias Grave Noriega, who is 31 years old, and Estela Estrada Reyes, who is 31 years old. We raise chickens at home for our consumption. As for health, I want you to know that my mom underwent surgery some months ago because she suffered from polycystic ovaries. Therefore, I would love to count on your prayers for her recovery. My father and I are doing well, although I sometimes suffer from pain in different parts of my body. I think it is because I fell down from the third floor of my house about four years ago.

Now, I want you to know that I am 11 years old, and I attend school as a fifth grader this year. I prefer to receive face-to-face classes because I learn the lessons much better. Although my parents have a stable job, their bosses do not pay them on time. Due to that, they had trouble covering my school supplies at the beginning of the year. I want to continue studying to accomplish my dreams. Some of them are to become an odontologist and speak English. My favorite season is winter because I enjoy the cold and fresh weather a lot. I like drinking a soft drink called grapete, and my favorite sport is soccer. When my birthday comes, my parents buy a delicious cake for me. Another thing that I love doing to celebrate a new year of life is breaking a pinata (it is a traditional birthday puppet full with candies). I say goodbye to you for now, but I want you to know that LW is a meaningful project where my family and I have received delicious food. See you later!

Kind regards,

Alyson Nohemi Grave Estrada
