Bio: My name is Bryan I., I was born on March 23, 2009 in Guatemala City. We are two brothers, I am the oldest and the youngest is in elementary school. We live with my mother, her name is María, she is a housewife and she also makes very beautiful weavings and that is the source of income for my family. Unfortunately the weavings take a long time to make and there is a lot of competition outside. 

Let me tell you a little about my life. I was born in Guatemala City because of my parents' work. My father worked as a security guard but unfortunately he passed away. That brought many problems to my family and housing stability, so my mother made the decision to return to live in the village. It was hard because we did not have a house to live in, so my grandparents gave us a piece of land and my good-hearted uncles helped us build two rooms where we currently live and we try to be perseverant. 

I want to continue studying in high school. I like agriculture and I would like to be an agronomist since at the moment I also work half a day and then study. The best thing is to become a professional in this area and have the necessary resources to support my mother and also educate my brother. I will be very grateful for the scholarship and I will commit to maintaining my good grades and not disappointing the people who trusted me, since I know how difficult it is to earn money. That is why I value it so much.
