Profile

My name is Liset Aurora. I was born in Tunja, Colombia, South America. I am 11 years old. I am the youngest of three children. My older sister is 21 and my younger sister is 20. She has a 2 year old baby. I live with my mother, my two sisters, my nephew and three uncles in a rented apartment. My father abandoned us when I was 4 years old. He lives with another woman and has a little girl-my third sister. Since then, my mother has not received any financial support from him. We, his daughters, do not receive any support towards our education. My mother has struggled and worked very hard to send us to school. My sisters already finished high school but because of financial difficulties were not able to attend college. My sisters do have to work to help my mother because she had an aneurysm and was not able to get a job again, even though she had the desired to continue working. My mother then started to make wooden handicrafts. She sells those handicrafts and with the money she gets we barely pay the expenses of the house. We are a very humble family.

I am on 5th grade at the Colegio Boyaca in Tunja city. I want to finish high school and go to the university to become a veterinarian. I also want to travel and do a specialization in animals. I have a female dog, a hen and a rabbit as my pets. In my spare time I enjoy singing, dancing and playing basketball.
