Voy a escribir mi historia. Mi historia es muy triaste por que yo no pude ir a la escuela por que mi papa murió cuando yo era niña. Nos dejo muy chiquitos y sin donde vivir. Mi mama estaba embarazada y a punto de dar a luz. Yo y mis hermanos mayores tuvimos que ayudar a mi mama y no pusimos a trabajar para poder mantener a mis hermanos menores. Poco a poco salimos adelante y por ese no pude ir a la escuela.

Yo me siento muy orgullosa de acudir a esta escuela. Por que para mi es un sueno estar estudiando con mis compañeras. Ellas me apoyan para que yo aprenda a leer y a escribir. Gracias a mis maestras y a mi familia yo ya se leer un poco. Esto me ha ayudado por que yo no sabia como hacer una llamada de larga distancia. Yo leí las instrucciones en mi tarjeta telefónica y lo pude hacer. El estar viniendo a la escuela me ha cambiado la vida para bien.

I am going to write my story. My story is a very sad one because I was unable to attend school. My father passed away when I was just a little girl. We were very small and we had no place to live. My mother was pregnant and just about to give birth. My older siblings and I had to help our mother in some way so we decided to get jobs. Little by little we were able to get what we needed. This is why I couldn’t go to school.

I am very proud to be able to attend school. Coming to school has made a dream come true for me. I come to school with other women that help and give me the support to learn how to read and write. Thanks to my teachers and family I can read a little. This has helped me very much because I didn’t know how to make a long distance call. I read the instructions on my calling card and was able to make the call. Coming to school has had a positive impact on my life.
