My Story

Hello! I am Ergisa. Thank you very much for reading my story. I am doing well regarding health. I am 7 years old and my birthday is in March. My favorite color is pink. I go to primary school and am doing well with the lessons. My favorite subject I enjoy studying the best is the ABC reading book. I go to school in town where I spend the first part of my day and after school, I like to meet and play with my friends who live near my house. We enjoy our time playing outside in nature. We usually play hide and seek and do a lot of running to catch one another. We also play with elastic and a lot of other games that are played with ball. When I am inside the house, usually I like to help my mother during the time she cleans the rooms in our house. I take all my dolls and put them inside the box after playing. I spend a few hours doing my school homework and get prepared for the next school day and afterwards, I like to spend time watch television or listen to songs which I play using the mobile phone of my parents. From time to time, especially on weekends, our mother takes me out for a walk. We enjoy going on these walks to get fresh air and I can as well play in the park. I have five members in my family. We share our house with my grandparents. My father goes every day to work in places where they sell wood for fire. He saws, chaps and piles wood for people who hire him. This job is in daily bases and sometimes, he comes home without working or gaining any income. My grandparents are both retired and receive small pensions from their previous jobs. This is also another income added to us as family. My parents supply their living needs constantly and they do the best to help our family with what they can. My mother is not working because jobs especially for ladies are very few in our small town. Being without a job, she deals with cooking, cleaning, shopping etc. I am frequenting the church of the program in the town together with my mother. We receive food packages constantly as well as spiritual care. We enjoy going every Sunday to the Bible classes of the church and our mother who brings us there stays for the Sunday service. Thank you for your support and care. God bless you!
