I was born in the south part of Guatemala. I'm the first child in my family. I was 6 years old when my parent moved to Guatemala City and I grew up in the streets of Guatemala.

I lived with my mother and grandparents. I made new friends and they wanted me to go out with them. I asked my parents if I could enjoy my friends. Sometimes we went to the river to play in the water. We had a great time playing together once in a while. I liked to sleep for a longtime and wake up late. Every night always staying awake late doing my homework from school .Every morning I went late for school and most of the time I missed my recess. I remember my first teacher her name was Lupe. She acted very nice with me. When I started high school I used to wear a uniform, a white shirt and gray skirt. I used to walk to school with my friend. The classes at our school were large usually with 20 to 30 students. Boys and girls attended the same classes. The boys sat in one line and girls sat in the other line. I attended the high school.

The high school years were a wonderful time. The school year started in January and ended in December. We also had two months school vacation in November and December. At that time my family visited my family who lived outside the city in a small village. They had a horses and cows and chickens. I liked riding horses in the small village. We didn't have T.V or telephone, I like this time because I forgot the stress of the school. When I came back to my house in the city, I didn't want a to go back to school. I still remember this time of my vacation because I enjoyed it so much.
