Biography
My name is Dámaris X., I am originally from San Pedro Yepocapa, and I live in San Francisco village. I am studying at the Escuela Rural Mixta Buena Vista. My mother's name is Damaris, she is 42 years old, and she is dedicated to embroidering traditional garments. She attended the 1st grade of primary school. My father is Luis, he is 42 years old, and he attended the 3rd grade of primary school. He works as a day laborer. I like the math course, my favorite food is Pepián, and my favorite color is lilac purple. I would like to continue studying and be able to become a Professional Chef, and create my own restaurant. At home I help by cleaning after lunch, and washing my clothes. My mom is teaching me to knit so I can have another way of earning a living. I have nine siblings. The first four only attended 6th grade. My fifth brother is in 6th grade, he is 13 years old. My four youngest siblings are studying at primary school. My mom wants us to continue with our studies, since due to lack of resources my older brothers could not continue with their studies. They both want that to change with us so that we have better opportunities in the future.
