My Story

My name is Beberly Gabriela, and I am delighted to say hello to you through this letter. I hope you are doing well. Let me tell you that my family and I attend a Christian Church called Adulam. We usually do it on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. The people who I live with are my mother, father, and two siblings. My father, Jefferson Aaron Aparicio Oroxon, is 42 years old. He makes a living as a cashier. He is a diabetic man who takes his medicines and visits the doctor frequently. My mom, Odra Verali Jacobo Espinoza, works hard at home by doing household chores. She is in good health. As for my siblings, let me tell you that they are doing well, although my oldest sister, Zury, was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome since she was a toddler. She also suffers from convulsions, but takes an exclusive medicine called valproic acid to keep herself stable. Taking advantage of this, I want you to know that LW is a tremendous help for my family and many others. As for pets, let me tell you that we have three chihuahua dogs at home.

Now, I want to tell you a little bit more about me. I am 12 years old, and I am in good health. I attended school this year as a sixth grader. I was glad to attend face-to-face classes because it is much better. I hope to receive face-to-face classes next year. God has blessed my whole family and me, especially my father. He could cover my school supplies without trouble. I want to continue studying to become a doctor. I also would love to speak English. Therefore, I would love to count on your prayers for me to accomplish my goals and dreams. I love Christmas because it is a cheerful time and I enjoy vacation. I like drinking Coca-Cola, and lemonade. My favorite sport is soccer. When my birthday comes, I love having a delicious cake to celebrate with my family. Besides that, my mom prepares a tasty dinner for me. To end this letter, I want you to know that my mom helped me to give all this information to a member of the LW staff to update you about my life. I send you many kisses and hugs, and I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely yours,

Beverly Gabriela Aparicio Jacobo
