My name is José Montoya. I was born on February 13, 2010, in Barrancabermeja, Colombia. -
On May 6, 2014 – I traveled to Bucaramanga. It was one of my first trips, and I really enjoyed being with my family. -
On October 31, 2014 – I almost got lost in Barrancabermeja while going door to door asking for candy. I remember I had a big bag full of sweets — it was a beautiful memory. -
In 2015 – I graduated from preschool so I could start primary school, where everything began. -
In 2016 – I suffered the loss of my grandmother. It was very hard to accept because she loved me deeply. I still carry her in my heart to this day. -
In 2017 – I earned a certificate for completing a virtual math course, which I successfully passed. -
In 2020 – I graduated from primary school at Colegio Mi Granjita. It took a lot of effort because I was taking care of my mother at the time, and it was also the year the pandemic began. -
On January 28, 2022 – I started secondary school for the first time. I was so nervous that I vomited. I didn’t even know where I was; I felt completely overwhelmed during the first days after the pandemic ended.
