My Story

Hello! My name is Rufino, and I am glad to introduce myself to you through this letter. My family and I attend a Christian Church on Saturdays. By God’s grace, my whole family and I are in good health. My father, Rosalio Pu Gutierrez, is 50 years old. He still makes a living as a farmer. Besides working for other people, he grows corn and beans for our consumption. My mother is a very busy housewife who works by washing clothes for other people twice a week. Her name is Santos Garcia Gutierrez, and she is 34 years old. We do not have assorted domestic animals at home. We only have hens. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I want you to know that LW is a great blessing for my family and me. My siblings and I can have delicious food at the feeding program. 

I am 13 years old, and I am in seventh grade. I attend school in the afternoon. In the morning, I work by assisting the driver. I help my family a little bit economically. I would love to make a living as a minibus driver when I am older. I prefer to attend face-to-face classes because I learn lessons much better. I am glad because this method has helped me to do homework easily. I have a large family. Therefore, my parents have worked hard to support my siblings and me. However, my father does not get enough income to cover our school supplies. Some of our needs are groceries, especially corn. My favorite holiday is Holy Week because my family and I have delicious pieces of bread with honey. I like drinking hot beverages, but my favorite is coffee. I am a Kiche dialect speaker, and I know a little Spanish. Besides those languages, I would like to speak English. I get excited when my birthday is closer. What I love the most is having a special lunch to celebrate a new year of life with my loved ones. There are many sports, but my favorite is soccer. To end this letter, I want you to know that my mom helped me to give all this information to a teacher of LW. See you later!

Affectionately,

Rufino Pu Garcia
