There are 15 students in our class. Twelve students are from Mexico. One student is from Kenya. One student is from Brazil. One student is from Togo. We have 2 students from Africa. Ten students are married. Five students are single. I am the teacher. I am from New Jersey. My first name is Katie. My last name is Cardenas. I am married. I am not single.
