Hello, my name is Balguissa. I come from a Muslim family. I was born on May 13, 2009. I live with my mother, my father, and my 5 siblings. My father works for a security company as a security guard. We have a small home that does not have either running water or electricity. The closest well is about half a kilometer away. We need to get all of our water there for all of the cooking, cleaning, and washing that we do daily.This year (2021-22), I am in the 7th grade. I have been working hard to learn all of my lessons because this is my first year in secondary school and things are so different. My favorite subject is History/Geography, but I also really like English. When I grow up, I want to become an English teacher. After school, I study or do chores, but when those are done, I like to play with my friends. We often play marbles.
