My Story

My name is Franklin Gabriel, and I excited to tell you my last news through this letter. I hope you find it engaging. My family and I attend the Catholic Church in our village once a month. My father is Walter Perez, and he is 45 years old. He makes a living as a truck driver. My mom is Pabla Velasquez, and she is 38 years old. As a housewife, she keeps busy doing the chores and taking care of me. God has been faithful with us. Proof of that, we are healthy and have had all what we need. Besides that, my parents did not have trouble covering my school supplies.

Now, I want to tell you more about me. I am 12 years old, and this year, I was in sixth grade. I prefer to receive face-to-face classes because I understand the lessons much better. My favorite holiday is the fair of my town because I have fun at the amusement park. I like drinking peach juice, and my favorite sport is soccer. There are many things that you can do for celebrating birthdays. In my case, I love having a delicious cake. To end this letter, I want you to know that my mom helped me to give all this information to a teacher of LW to update you about my life. I also want to tell you that LW is a meaningful project because we have received food, especially in the challenging moments. I will leave you know, but I hope to hear from you soon. Take care of yourself!

From the bottom of my heart,

Franklin Gabriel Perez Velasquez
