Biography
I am Miriam. I study at the school in my town. I have 7 siblings. I am the second child in the family. My oldest brother did not study because of the lack of resources, 4 of us are studying, and 3 are too young to go to school. I really wish to study. My dream is to be a teacher. My favorite subject is Math. I work part-time in a store on Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday and I work the entire Saturday. I buy food for my family and some materials that I need at school with my income. My family and I have financial problems. My dad’s name is Nicolás. He only studied until the 3rd grade. He is a day laborer. My mom’s name is María. She is a housewife. She weaves traditional blouses. She did not have the opportunity to go to school. My parents would like me to continue studying, but they do not have the resources to support me; having a scholarship would give me the opportunity to continue studying and reaching my dreams. I wish to get ahead to support my family and my youngest sisters so they can study as well.
