José Lito tiene trece años y estudia séptimo grado. Vive con su mamá, su hermano, y su hermana cerca del colegio. Su hermanita, Viky Marisol, estudia quinto grado aquí y su hermano mayor se graduó del colegio hace varios años.
A José Lito le gusta que le dicen por sus dos nombres. Su materia favorita es computación y su comida favorita son las pupusas. Tiene ocho perros (porque su perra acaba de tener cachorros) y dos gatos. En su tiempo libre, le gusta dormir y hacer origami. Cuando sea grande, José Lito va a ser «adulto».
La mamá de José Lito nos pidió la beca porque no puede mantener a la familia con los dos niños en el colegio, sin embargo, sabe, por su hijo mayor, que la educación que sus hijos recibirán aquí es mejor que en la escuela pública.

José Lito is thirteen years old and in seventh grade. He lives with his mother and his two siblings right near the school. His little sister, Viky Marisol, is in fifth grade at PNARDS and his older brother is a PNARDS graduate.
José Lito likes to be called by both his first names. His favorite subject is computers and his favorite food is pupusas. He has eight dogs (because his dog just had puppies!) and two cats. In his free time, he likes to sleep and do origami. When José Lito grows up, he’s going to be – quote – an adult.
José Lito’s mother asked if we could provide him with a half-scholarship, since she can’t afford to have both her children studying at PNARDS but knows from when her oldest son studied at the public school that the education at PNARDS is more complete.
