My Day to Day

I get up at 9 o'clock in the morning, that's how my day starts, and I take a

moment to pray. Afterwards, I help a little with the housework, and I help my mom

buy things at the store. At 11:00 am I take a shower, and put on some shorts and a

T-shirt, comb my hair and wash my pajamas. I always wait for my brothers to

shower before mopping the floor. I set up my work area and study for an hour, at

12: 30 p.m. my mom serves lunch and I serve juice. I eat lunch in the living room

with my family while we watch TV. At 3:00 p.m. I help with the house cleaning,

sweeping and washing some dishes. At 4 p.m. I resume my study, do some

homework, and help my sister with hers.

Like every day, at 6 pm I take care of the animals in the house, put them

away, and organize some things in the backyard like washing some clothes,

mopping, etc. At 7 p.m. I have dinner and wash my own dishes. At 8 p.m., I read

the Bible for 30 minutes, some days, I can study its pages more in depth. At 9

o'clock I go back to do homework and activities, check the internal mail of the

University platform. At 11: 30 pm I clean the computer and put it away, then I put

on my pajamas and brush my teeth. I give water to my mom, and say goodnight.

Before going to bed I pray to God, and set an alarm for an early start to a new
