Leonardo is talking about his family members.

 

Hi. My name is Leonardo.  Sahagún. I was born in Sahagún. But, I live with my family in Montería where I work as a teacher. I’m 35 years old. People say I'm incredibly honest. So, they can trust what I say. I like to write poetry. I also have a great sense of humor. The beautiful girls who are next to me in this picture are my daughter and my wife.

My father is Melanio. My father is a cook. He has his own restaurant. My father is 72. Dad is a pretty cool person. He is outgoing and friendly. He is a man who likes to help people.

My mother is Hita María. She is the person who teaches me about the important things in life. She is a housewife. She works hard to keep our house clean and organized. That’s really good because it gives our house a homey feel. My mother is 70 years old. Mom is absolutely wonderful. She is extremely helpful and generous.  

My son Leonardo José is an architect in Bogotá. He is really funny and laid - back. He works at a building company that builds houses for poor people. This is my favorite picture when he was 1 month old, now he is 20.

A person I really admire is my sister Lourdes. She is a teacher, she is practical and down-to-earth. She works in a High School which is famous for organizing cultural events. 

My pretty wife, Claudia is the woman I love most. She is not selfish at all. We get along really well. She is the most beautiful gift which God has given me. She works in a primary school where children with Down’s Syndrome are taught.
