“Hi, my name is Dulcina del Carmen Urunaga Segobia. I am from San Pedro district of San Miguel, Misiones, Paraguay, but I was born in Iturbe district of Villa Rica, Guairá, Paraguay on July 4th of 2000. I am an adopted daughter. My biological mother’s name is Celina Urungaga Segobia and my biological brothers and sisters from her are Walter 24 years old, Alicia 18 years old, Osvaldo 15 years old, Fabiola 8 years old, and me 17 years old. My adopted parents are Armin Sanabria and Liberada Esperanza Vallejos de Sanabria. My brothers and sisters from my adopted parents are Nilfa 33 years old, Pablina 30 years old, and Fatima 25 years old.
I have lived with my adopted parents for 17 years. I go to school at the National High School of San Pedro, Misiones. I am currently in 11th grade. I like football, Paraguayan dance, as well as Computer Programming and Hydro Engineering—two things I would like to study once I finish High School. My favorite food is chicken Bori Bori and Yucca. My favorite colors are purple and fuchsia. I would like to visit the United States because I like English a lot and because I would like to get to know its customs and culture.
My dreams are to finish my two career studies, to find a good job so I can sustain my expenses by myself, have my own house, also to buy a red car, and to form a family and live happily. This is my dream that I know I will achieve with the help of God, my adopted parents who support me in everything, and most importantly through my own will.”
