Hey! I’m German
Quiroga Moreno, I was born on St. Patrick's Day, on March 17, 2000 with my twin
who unfortunately died the same day. Born in a beautiful town called Cd. Obregón,
beautiful for its small city like atmosphere, tasty food as cebosos tacos,
carne asada and unique coyotas.
I am a child
of average height, black hair and brown eyes. I am friendly, a bit sarcastic,
but calm when it needs to.
The first
memory I have is when entering third of kindergarten in La Salle, I remember arriving
with my parents behind really nervous, that moment only two children came to me
and were very friendly, a girl named Andrea and a boy named Ivan. Since that
point on they pased to be my best friends. That
same year my fathers put me in music class to learn the only instrument that is
stringed and percussion at the same time, piano. I went to music school when I
was five where I lasted only two years and left to study to the United States.
The first
day in California felt like my first day of kindergarten. I knew no english but
the numbers and the alphabet. A week later I understood it, and in three weeks
I could write and talk fluently. A year
later, in 4th grade of elemantary I got a violin, my second favorite
instrument, and entered the school orchestra were presented in several parts, I
loved it.
Fifth grade
and finally back to Mexico, it felt wonderful. This was one of my best years,
this year I got into track and field to which I owe my best experiences. I entered
long jump without knowing a thing and won the first competition of a
sector, that day my mom saw my potential
and hired a personal coach. I passed the next competition of the other sector
then the following year won Cajeme county which sets me up to the satate
tournament the next year.
Next year
the state tournament came and went to Hermosillo. After 5 jumps I surpassed by
far the other player’s score to remain in first place. Now I passed to thenationals
in Monterrey in four months.
We arrived to a Sheraton Hotel. Everytime we
went to the stadium where we competed we were escorted by many polices and even
a helicopter, I felt important. The next day after we arrived I competed in the
first elimination were I got second place and passed to the finals which were
two days later. I reached the final and for my bad luck I warmed up to early
and got tired. In my final jump I jumped perfect, I flew, but unfortunately I
fell on my back lost some score. I got 4th place.
I’m
currently cursing freshmen year in high school at Tec de Monterrey. I try to go
on the right track in order to have a good future and succeed in life. I have
had a short life, I have had many adventures that I will remember my whole life.
