Cristian tiene doce años y estudia sexto grado. Vive con su mamá, Susana, la maestra de primero del colegio, su hermano, Jhonathan Elías, quien estudia octavo grado, y su madrina, Amalia, la maestra de kínder. El papá de Cristian vive en Nueva York. La familia pasa mucho tiempo con los papás de Susana, porque ellos viven cerca. Les dicen de cariño “Papá Guayo” and “Mamá Yoya.” Su perrita Negra acaba de parir, entonces tiene ocho cachorritos.
La materia favorita de Cristian es computación, pero lo que más le gusta del colegio es jugar en el receso. Cuando sea grande, quiere ser arquitecto. Su comida favorita es carne asada. A Cristian le encanta jugar en la tablet y tiene muchos amigos en el colegio y le gusta pasar tiempo con ellos.
Susana está haciendo lo que pueda con sus hijos. Ya que da clases en el colegio, sabe que sus hijos están recibiendo la mejor educación posible. Sin embargo, ha tenido bastantes problemas de salud últimamente y con el sueldo que gana aquí y lo poquito que le manda su esposo, no alcanza pagar las cuotas de sus hijos. Por eso le hemos ofrecido una beca.

Cristian is thirteen years old and in sixth grade. He lives with his mother, who teaches first grade at PNARDS, his brother, Jhonathan Elías, who is in eighth grade, and his godmother, Amalia, who teaches kindergarten. His father lives in New York City. The family spends a lot of time with Susana’s parents, who live nearby, whom they affectionately call “Papa Guayo” and “Mama Yoya.” They have a dog they call “Negra” who just had puppies!
Cristian’s favorite class is computers, but his favorite part of coming to school is playing at recess. When he grows up, Cristian wants to be an architect. His favorite food is beef. Cristian loves to play soccer and play on his tablet and he’s got a lot of friends at school who he likes to spend time with.
Susana is doing the best she can with her boys. Since she is teaching here at PNARDS, she knows that her boys get the best education they can. However, Susana has had several health problems in the last couple years and receives only a little help from the boy’s father. We have offered Cristian a scholarship so that Susana doesn’t have to worry so much about making ends meet.
