Luz Maria Tejada

Country: Dominican Republic

My birthday is 2009-10-01

Status: Paternal Orphan

I want to be a doctor.

I enjoy hanging out with my friends.

My favorite subject is Mathematics.

Luz Maria lives with her mom and siblings in Batey Lecheria, a village in the Dominican Republic. Batey is the Haitian word for village. Like most living in Batey Lecheria, Luz Maria is of Haitian descent. Life for Haitians in the Dominican is difficult. Luz's dad passed away when she was seven years old. Her mom sells various items for a living, but her income cannot adequately provide for her family. Luz attends school, and her favorite subject is math. In her free time, she enjoys hanging out with her friends. Her favorite color is blue, and she likes to play basketball. In the future, she wants to become a doctor.
