My name is Erwin L., I am the oldest brother in my family. My two brothers are younger than me. Three of my brothers passed away at birth, so there are three of us alive. I consider myself a student who is interested in studying. I am currently studying at Paley High School. The school is a 30-minute walk from my house. I live in the community of Paxcabalche. I am very happy to have the opportunity to continue my studies. My parents have done their best to cover my expenses. Unfortunately, there are other expenses to cover, so I have to work some days to buy some of my materials. We come from a family with limited financial resources.
We live in our own house with my parents and siblings. My hobby is reading books. My favorite subject is math because I like numbers. My favorite color is black. My father's name is Mario, and has a sixth grade education. He is a day laborer, he dreams that his children will be the change in the family and in society, every day they struggle to get ahead. My mother is Teresa, she has a third grade education. She is a housewife, sometimes she weaves güipiles to sell, that's how they have gotten ahead. I hope to have the scholarship, it would be a support for my family and especially in my life, since my parents do not have a stable salary, so the scholarship would be a great support and a motivation for my parents to continue supporting me in my studies.
