My name is Yeison, and I was born in the village of La Cruz, Yepocapa. I have 9 siblings; 5 of them already have partners and live with their families, and were unable to continue their studies due to a lack of resources at home. Another brother was also unable to continue his studies and decided to work as a day laborer, like the others. I have a brother who is currently in elementary school and struggles, but he does his best, and two more siblings who are still in primary school.

My father's name is Oswaldo; he is a day laborer and barely makes ends meet, but he always strives to support us. My mother, Estela, is a housewife and only works during harvest season to help out financially. She also supports us with our homework so we can get ahead in our studies.

My greatest wish is to graduate as an electrician because I consider it a good job, and many people seek help installing lights and other electrical services. I want to be able to support them, and that's why I work hard to achieve this goal.

I really enjoy being at school and always try to do well on my homework to achieve my goals in life. My favorite class is Communication and Language because it helps us express ourselves better. In the mornings, I study and have fun playing at school. In the afternoons, I help out at home so my mom can get some rest, and then I do my homework so I can do well in school.

With this scholarship I can graduate, fulfill all my dreams and goals, support my family, and be a good person, recognized by my entire community.
