Julia Damaris Ruiz Chulo
Hello, my name is Julia Damaris Ruiz Chulo, I am 19 years old and the career I will start at ITCA is Computer Network Infrastructure Engineering Technician.
I currently live with my two parents, both of whom are 61 years old. My father works as a security guard in a private residential and my mother is a housewife.
Financially I depend on my father since he is the only one who has a stable job; However, with my mother on weekends in our house we cook and sell pupusas to get an extra income and thus be able to pay for the water and electricity services, due with what my father earns he buys food. In order to obtain the ITCA school enrollment, my parents had to save money for a long time; however, I also contributed since I had the opportunity to work for 2 months taking care of some children in the same residential where my father works.
I am a teenager with many goals to meet, thanks to my discipline I have always excelled in my studies. I am very sociable, outgoing, empathetic, creative and above all I have self-control, and so many other virtues.
