My Story

Hello! My name is Kledi Rustemi. I am 17 years old and my birthday is in September. I am doing well and am in good health. Which is such a blessing. My favorite color is black. Because I think it is cool. And I wear black all the time. I am in eleventh grade at school. My favorite school subjects are computer science and physical science. Because I love learning how to use technology to overcome problems. and I study hard to receive good grades from my teachers. Afterwards, I enjoy my lunch at home and I like to get together with my friends to play football outside for a short while. It is always so much fun and is my favorite part of the day. We laugh, compete, and share stories. I always look forward to meeting them every day because those moments bring me a lot of happiness. When I grow older I hope to become a technology engineer and help people. My family and I live in a village in the community of Pogradec. Sometimes we travel to town when we need to shop, visit the hospital, or handle paperwork at the community offices. My family contains five people and we live in a new house that my father built a few years ago. My family consists of my father, step mother, grandpa, my step brother, and me. My father had a divorce before he married my step mother. I have a stepbrother who is younger than me and attends school. He is also in the program. My grandmother passed away a year ago and I still miss her. My grandfather is in old age, but he is still in good health and keeps strong. My father and step mother care to supply his needs, even though he receives a small pension. My father works in Greece and there he is earning a better income compared to what he would earn working here in the village and dealing with agriculture. My step mother works on our land constantly to provide a few food items. We consume crops and vegetables. My step mother bakes the bread at home so we try to supply all our own wheat so that we do not have to buy it at the shop. My mother lives in Germany. I visited her this year and stayed in her house for the summer months. I missed her and we had the possibility to meet. She cares for me and my needs as well. When I grow up enough and finish school, I might go to Germany and live there and this way, I will see my mother more often, but as far as I am taking school, I am staying in the family of my father. My family is very thankful to the Living Water Adopt a Child for the constant help delivered to us. They provide food packages, Bible studies, and other educational classes. God bless you!
