My Story

This is Glendy Natalia Raquel Coj Cux, and I am writing this to update my 2023 information. First, I will tell you about my family. We are still members of the Catholic Church, and we attend the mass once a week. We are assured of our Salvation. We have hens and cows at home, and we sometimes sell them. We grow corn, and it is for our consumption. We are a humble family, and our needs are groceries. My father’s name is Camilo. He is 59 years old, and he is in good health. He left for the United States and is now working in a company packing chlorine. He faithfully sends money for our needs. My mother’s name is Juana. She is 51 years old, and she is in good health too. She works hard at home and takes care of us.

Now let me tell you a little about myself. I am 11 years old, and I am healthy. I am in 5^th grade, and I am happy to receive face-to-face classes because it is easier to do my homework. It has been difficult for my parents to cover my school expenses, but they do their best. I want to become a policeman when I am older. My favorite celebration is Christmas because I can eat the traditional “tamales”. I would like to break a “piñata” on my birthday. I prefer soccer as a sport, and I love drinking sodas like Pepsi. It would be nice to learn English language. Living Water is very important in my life, and I am grateful for the delicious food received. I hope to hear from you soon.

All the best
