Ruth is now going to school and learning to speak and write in the English language. When Ruth grows up, she wants to be a nurse. Ruth and her family want to stay in Belize because it’s peaceful and gives them a better living. Ruth's father is a farmer and her mother is a housewife, who also raises chickens at the farm.
