MY OWN HISTORY

I am from Guatemala Central America, I grew up in a small town, of Ciudad Vieja Sacatepequez in 

Guatemala.   It is a place to live, peaceful and quiet.  The people are very friendly and kindly.  We 

have a lot of small farmer, they plant coffee trees, corn, beans and some vegetables.  They dont use 

much equipment like in Canada, for working on the farms, they work with hand tools.

   I raised in my grandfather's home.  It was a big home in those times; beautiful house.  I can 

remember almost everything, because they treated me like their child.   Sadly my mom and them 

passed away, but I remenber everything like it was yesterday.

One of must beautiful things that I remember is when played soccer with my brother and cousins in 

the yard.  My grandma always told us to played quietly please, but didn't listen to her because we  

were very busy to playing.
