My Story

It is a tremendous blessing to greet you through this letter. My full name is Candy Samara Aleli Xicay Gomez, and I want to share a little about my life with you. I am 15 years old and attend school as a ninth grader. I made a good friend at school about one year ago. Her name is Susana, and we usually get together to do homework. I am grateful to Jesus for having delivered his life for humanity and me. I trust He has never left my family and me alone. As proof, we are all healthy. We are members of a Christian church called Sinai. We enjoy the sermons and worship time. I love going for walks and having lunch with my parents, especially when we celebrate an important event in our family. I identify with my mom because she advises and understands me. She is dedicated to doing the housework while my father works as a farmer in our town. This is all for now, but I appreciate you taking the time to read my letter. See you later!

With love and gratitude,

Candy Samara Aleli Xicay Gomez
