My name is Cirley V. I study at the public school of my town. My mom, Aura, did not have the opportunity to study. She works as day laborer harvesting coffee from October to January. My dad’s name is Wilson; he works as bricklayer. He did not have the opportunity to study. The house where we live is built with blocks and metal sheet roof. We own it. We only have two rooms: the kitchen, and the hallway of the house.

I always have the moral support of my mom to do homework in the best way. It is important to her that we can continue studying. I like Math. I want to study high school and graduate as a teacher. I am patient with children. I admire teachers because of their patience. I have 5 siblings. The first one graduated after studying technical drawing in construction. The second one only studied third grade, she is a single mother. The third one only studied 6th grade. The fourth is studying, and the last one is a baby boy. We are thrilled to apply for the scholarship. We are committed to participating in all the requirements of the program.
