The Gonzales boys
Though Dimitri Gonzales, an eighth grade student at Our Lady of Hope, has always recognized
the importance of Holy Thursday and the Stations of the Cross reenactment of Jesus’ walk to
Calvary, he also couldn’t help but envy the students who played the role of soldiers. He wanted
to play that role himself. This year, as an eighth grader, he had the chance. His mother,
Stephanie Gonzales, was proud.

Mrs. Gonzales is also deeply grateful that Dimitri, as well as his three brothers—Gabriel, Victor
and Julian—are receiving their education at Our Lady of Hope. According to Mrs. Gonzales,
“Dmitri had the confidence to ask for the part because of his teachers’ support and
encouragement. The teachers know my kids,” she continued. “They look out for them.” She
adds that the school also knows what she expects of her children. They reinforce the faith she
teaches at home.

Though teachers and staff are part of what makes Our Lady of Hope special, family is as well.
The Gonzales boys have not only had each other, the school has also been filled with cousins.
Some are still there; others have graduated. “It’s one big family,” says Victor. “I like knowing
everyone has my back,” agrees Gabriel. “Nobody wants to come to school to be bullied,” he
concludes.

Fortunately, with the support of scholarships from Bright Futures Fund, the family has been able to send all four boys to Our Lady of Hope.
-The Gonzales Family

Mrs. Gonzales always knew she wanted her sons to have a Catholic education. Yet it’s been a
financial sacrifice. Fortunately with the support of scholarships from Bright Futures Fund, the
family has been able to send all four boys to Our Lady of Hope. Their mother knows how
fortunate they have been. She is committed to giving back to the school through involvement in
the Parent Teacher Organization and the School Council. “Trust, safety and knowing God is a
part of my sons’ school has made all the difference,” Mrs. Gonzales continues.
​
Her boys, politely waiting during the conversation with their mother, are also eager to get back
to the classes they love and then on to see their brother during Stations of the Cross. The family
is happy. They’re comfortable with each other and with being in school. Our Lady of Hope,
during every day of the year, yet especially on Holy Thursday, is a good place to be together.

I am really curious to experience what would it be like to have a large family. I wasn't close to any of my cousins because I live far away from them. And now that I have my own family, I have just one son which I am planning to home school because I noticed he is a bit different from other kids so I don't want to risk him being bullied in a traditional school or get heavy influence from bigger kids who are too young to be taking illegal substances. At the back of my head, I really am not sure if I am being too protective. But I don't have anyone to watch over him in school so this maybe my only option.

You are so lucky to have boys in your family. I only have daughters which I take extra more care. Youth nowadays are so aggressive and so idea focused. They wanted to do what they think is right and they like to explore more. I am avoiding situations which can hurt them more like being bullied in school or what. Having a brother is different from having just all girls. I allow my kids to explore new things with a certain amount of limitation, this is for their sake also.

Because of your feature, I now gained the desire to visit Eneko at One Aldwych! I am sure that this is a fancy restaurant, so I better prepare my wallet first. Hopefully, the food that I'll be tasting on the said restaurant will be worth the penny because I've bene hearing a lot of negative criticisms online saying that fancy restaurants are just blinding the customers with the design. But the taste isn't exceptional. I hope that Eneko at One Aldwych is truly different from the rest!
