Profile

My name is Laura Vanessa. I was born in a small town called El Cocuy, on November 13, 1996, at 1:15 a.m. I am 11 years old. My mother’s name is Nydia Arleny and my father’s is Jairo Andrés. I have one younger sister and one younger brother. Their names are Angelica Paola and Jairo. My father works as a truck driver. My mother stays home and takes care of us. We live in a rented apartment. My father is gone most of the time because he travels a lot. It is part of his job.

My family has financial difficulties because the only income we have is from my dad’s job. School expenses and food cost the most. We do not own a house yet because my parents are paying for our education and can not afford to get a house. My mother does not have a job because the town where we live is very small and the jobs available are already taken.

I am on 7th grade. I attend the Urbana Mixta School. My younger sister and brother also attend the same school. They are in 3rd and 2nd grade. In my spare time I love to read and write tales. I am very organized and like to do everything as neat as I can. The class I like the most is computers. I love to play basketball. Also I like to teach and share with other children what I know. I admire the work that dentists do. I dream of going to college and become a bilingual secretary or computer engineer. I want to help my family when I grow up.
