Dear Santa,
I´ve been very good this year, I ve done my chores and I´ve had good grades in school.(*This is how every letter, of every single child should start, our girls included).
Our report this December will be in the form of a letter to Santa on how each one of them is doing:
Gaby graduated from university with a Bachelors degree in Psychology. Since then, she’s been workingon her indepence program and will leave Puerta Abierta very soon!
Karla starts her last semester in January, she continues to make us proud with her Marketing degree grades and is also responsible for a start up bakery.
The triplets have amazing grades. María and Lupita are studying Law and Angeles is doing industrial engineer. We are so proud of them, but most importantly so are they.
Moni just started her studies in Marketing and Advertising and is having very good grades. She had a hard time at the time deciciding between Marketing and Advertising or Business but is now certain a good choice.
Brisa, is one of the girls who makes us and herself the proudest of. She arrived in Puerta Abierta when she was 16 years old coming for a very violent situation and has taken every opportunity given. She is doing a degree in communications and nothing will stop her.
Brisas´s sister Fatima is in her last high school year with amazing grades and taking advantage of all opportunities given as her sister, she will decide what to do in University.
Zule arrived when she was 15 years old with her niece Lluvia. She has taken care of Lluvia since she was born and now that she knows Lluvia is well taken care off , she has allowed herself to bloom, she is happy and doing good in school. Although Zule has had a hard time with several subjects she is focused ad perseveres todo good.
Alma is a very sweet girl who is strugling with issues of her family at the moment. She will finish high school next summer and wants to do a degrre in physiotherapy. We continue to keep an eye on her and accompany her during these times.
Paula Ximena is another of our newly teenage girls who is going through a rough time questinoing why she is not loved by her Mother. Something that is very hard to go through and particularly at this age. She is sorrounded by all of us and specialized people who have offered her tools to cope with it all and become stronger. We are confient she will do it. Her grades could be better but she knows it and will get to it soon.
Our second little girl also named Ximena (we have 2 girls named Ximena) is also strugling in her new school, however she is a good girl and will overcome it.
The rest of our girls, the little ones all are good girls and I can tell you they behave good and are doing fine in school, Kimberly who had never gone to school at her 10 years is eager to learn. Her teacher tells us that she will catch up as she has a great attitude. She asked Santa for some roller skates.
Paulina and Lluvia are a blessing, they bring so much joy to the family and we could not be more grateful. They dream of barbie dolls and Christmas, we hope Santa will give them a good surprise this year!
We wish you very happy holidays!
Love from all of the girls!
