My name is Alice. I am 13 years old. I have been in an orphanage since I was 6 years old. My parents were alcoholics addicted, and as a result we were taken to the orphanage by police. Here at the orphanage, I was taught to pray and ask God for my wishes and needs. In our orphanage, there was one boy, his name was Alexander. He finished his studies and is not living with us anymore. He was very athletic and won prizes in track and field and triathlon. Seeing his success, I also wanted to be like him, I really wanted to be in sports, and to win prizes. I prayed to God to become an athlete and to participate in different competitions. For about a year, I was involved in athletics, and God helps me, gives me strength and endurance. 

​

I've already participated about 10 times and participated in competitions 2 times and won prizes. I won 1st and 3rd place, thank God for that. Always believe and pray. I can see how God can hear our prayers.
