My Story

Hello! My name is Esi Fraholli. I am 20 years old and my birthday is on January 25th. I am doing well and in good health. My future dream has constantly been to become a medical doctor. I am seeing this dream come true. I have started to study in the univerity of Tirana, our capital city and I am happy that I won the right to study to be a doctor. Starting to live in Tirana is a major change for me. All things are new and I have started a new life asan adult, livng on my own and from this point, I see things different. I am thankful to my family who is providing for me to study at the university and to cover my university and living costs. This is a new stage of life for me and I have started to get used to doing things myself, things that my mother would do for me like cooking, cleanign, etc. Also, while I am livng in a new town and frequenting a new school, I have made new friends. We sort of help one another and so far things have been going well for me. I visit my family in Pogradec every week where I come to get the things I need such as food cooked from my mother, clean clothes, money for daily expenses, etc. Because I come to the Pogradec, I also frequent the church of Living Water in Pogradec and I am still in the program. I travel to Tirana as soon as I return from the church. I am doing my best to study well and I enjoy studying Biology. When I have time left during the day I spend it on reading novels or poetery. My parents live in a village near Pogradec called Bucimas. The people in my family are my father, mother, a brother and a sister.  My brother and sister  are both registered in the program and benefit from the help and care Adopt a Child provides. We receive the food packages provided for us and frequent the Bible classes where we learn from the Bible. My father is working as teacher. We are happy that he provides for our needs. My mother is jobless. While she stays at home, she does the housekeeping, cleaning, cooking and shopping. Since my father is the only one that has a job in the family, we live with a low income. I know that my family is challanged to invest for me to frequent the university and for this reason, I am working hard with my studies so that they will feel proud of me. Thank you for all your care and support to me and God bless you!
