Diego tiene diez años y estudia cuarto grado en el colegio. Su hermano menor, Josué Manuel, estudia segundo y su hermanita, Jennifer, estudia kínder. Los hermanos también tienen otra hermanita, un hermanito, y una hermana mayor, que salió del colegio en la primera promoción de noveno grado.
El color favorito de Diego es azul y su comida favorita es sopa de gallina. Cuando sea grande, quiere ser profesor de computación, porque es su clase favorita…después de física! Le encanta jugar en la compu y con sus amigos.
Diego recibe una beca porque sus padres han visto la importancia de la educación y como se compara la educación que recibió aquí su hija mayor con la de sus compañeros de bachillerato que vienen de las escuelas públicas. Sin embargo, con cinco chiquirines, está difícil alcanzar para la mensualidad de los tres hijos que tienen aquí con el sueldo de albañil que recibe el papá.

Diego is ten years old and in fourth grade at PNARDS. His younger brother, Josué Manuel, is in second grade and his little sister, Jennifer, is in kindergarten. The siblings also have another little sister, a baby brother, and an older sister, Jhoselyn, who graduated from PNARDS with the first class of ninth-graders.
Diego’s favorite color is blue and his favorite food is chicken soup. When Diego grows up, he wants to be a computer teacher, because that is his favorite class, after gym of course! He loves playing on the computer and playing with his friends.
Diego receives a scholarship because his parents know how important education is to their children. They’ve seen how their oldest daughter compares her education at PNARDS to that of her high-school classmates’ public education and hope that their other kids can have the same benefits. However, with six children to support, they can’t afford full tuition for ll three children on their father’s income as a construction worker.
