Josué tiene ocho años y estudia segundo grado en el colegio. Su hermano mayor, Diego Armando, estudia cuarto 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.
La comida favorita de Josué es pollo y su materia favorita es física. En la casa, le gusta jugar pelota y en la tablet. Su parte favorita del colegio es la cancha. Cuando sea grande, quiere ser muy trabajador.
Josué 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.

Josué is eight years old and in second grade at PNARDS. His older brother, Diego Armando, is in fourth 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.
Josué’s favorite food is chicken and his favorite class is gym. At home, he likes to play soccer and play on his tablet. His favorite part of coming to school is the basketball court and when he grows up he wants to be a hard worker.
Josué 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 children can have the same benefits. However, with six children to support, they can’t afford full tuition for all three children on their father’s income as a construction worker.
