Alex is a Colombian boy who lives in Norwalk, Connecticut with his American aunt Shelly and two cousins. He wakes up early each morning to pray, get ready for school, and have breakfast with his family before taking the bus to Kennedy High School where he is in the 10th grade. After school, Alex takes the bus home, naps, plays video games with his cousins, does homework, has dinner with his family, watches the news with his aunt, prays again and goes to bed, happy with how his day went.
