Profile

My name is Maria Paula. I am 8 years old and I am in 3rd grade. I was born in a city called Medellin in the year 2000. My father is a pastor of a Christian Church and my mother is a kindergarten teacher's aid. We live close to my father’s job, in a small but nice apartment. I have my own room where I can play with my dolls and watch my favorite movies. I am the only child so I am somewhat pampered.

I love to read, rollerblade, draw and play with my dolls. I also like music very much. Right now I am learning to play the drums. I am also learning English. When people come from other countries I like talking to them in English.

My family’s income comes from my father and mother’s jobs. With that money my parents pay for housing, food, health and education expenses. My mother is also currently studying so it is a challenge to cover all expenses my family has. We want to have our own house someday.
