I like to share my thoughts and perspective with my classmates. I know it sounds weird but I love to do homework.<\/p>\n<p>I live close to the school with my parents and sister. \u00a0I get along well with my parents and I love my sister but like all siblings we argue sometimes. I am currently the only Christian in my family.<\/p>\n<p>This is the first year I have been working with the Mission Generation textbook, it is through the lessons that I have become a child of God. The lessons are very nice. \u00a0Love is the topic I enjoy the most. \u00a0Love is not a game; we have to respect the other person. \u00a0I get great joy thinking about how God himself is love, it\u2019s a complicated idea that I hope to someday fully understand. \u00a0I have started going to a church called <em>Cristo Misionero<\/em> to help me better grasp ideas like these. All week I pray that when Sunday comes around my family will say yes when I ask them to come to church with me. Up until now I have gone every Sunday alone. Even though I am the youngest I want to be a good example to my parents and sister.<\/p>\n<p>My dream is to be able to have a big house and a close family. To become a professional is another big dream of mine. \u00a0I can achieve my dreams by studying hard and respecting myself and others. \u00a0The teachings in the MG textbook are helping me see things I typically ignore. It\u2019s wonderful to have a Christian teacher that I can now ask things I might be embarrassed to ask my parents as they are not yet Christian. \u00a0I think this program is of great help to us adolescents.<\/p>\n<h4>-Ivan Rodrigo Pinto Valdivia <strong>(age13)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Translated from\u00a0<\/em><i>Spanish<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI like this school (Eden) very much.
