Kids Lives

What subjects do you study in school, and which one is your favorite?:

My favorite subject is math, because it's so useful and I like the idea that everyone uses almost the same math all around the world.

What is your homework like?:

Last night I had to look up words I didn't know in the dictionary and copy them down. They were words from the story we're reading in class.

What do you like to do after school? Do you have a favorite sport or game?:

After school I like taking the cows up really high. I also like playing with my siblings and climbing up and down the mountain.

Who is your favorite famous person?:

I don't know! I don't really watch T.V. very often, but I like seeing singers and actors on the T.V.

What kinds of music do you listen to?:

I love the music that people play in my community. They use big drums and something called charangos, which are guitars made out of armadillo shells.

What would you like to be when you grow up?:

I want to stay in Tocoli and help my family with the cows and everything. I really like being outside, and the city kind of scares me, so I'd like to be with my family on the lake.

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?:

I would want to go to Peru! It's right across the lake, but I've still never been there. I want to know if it's different even though it's so close to me. I would also like to go to La Paz where my brother is and see what the city is like.
