Gerardo Suarez Influence On Me

Decent Essays
I am Gerardo Suarez, I was born in Venezuela and I’m someone who has been through a lot during my life and those experiences have marked me in a certain way, helping me build me as a person and growing up as a better man, learning how to face my fears and achieving goals. I consider myself as a very kind person who always have the will to help someone in need, I think this characteristic of my personality has been there since I was little, and was influenced by my family, to be later practiced in social activities and work. Also I’m a very perseverant person when I want to achieve something, I put all my effort to make it happen. I think the best example of this is that when I just arrived school I wasn’t so good in soccer because the level in Venezuela wasn’t as good as in Peru, but I liked to play, so I was invited to train with the team, obviously I wasn’t nearly as good as my team mates and I felt I wasn’t improving, so I decided to go to the academy instead, with kids who were 2 years younger than me but still better, and I trained with them until I learned the basics and got better and better. …show more content…
I think that one of my biggest qualities is that I’m used to work in teams, with discipline and respect for the other members and encourage them to give the best, and also make them feel better if we don’t get the result we wanted, I learned this from every year in the soccer team of the school, we had good games and bad games, but at the end you don’t feel bad because you gave everything you

    In my life it is not necessarily experiences that have shaped who I am, but instead the people whom I have met during those experiences along the way. When I was younger I played soccer frequently and joined a local team that was coached by a man named Joe Di Lillo. At the time I did not know the importance he would hold in my life or how having known him in his last years of life would change me, yet looking back I find that so much of my self determination is rooted in both his life experiences and the knowledge he handed down to me. Joe was Bon in 1933 in he city of Roman, thirty miles from Naples. Born into a poor family Mr. Di Lillo did not have the opportunity to have an education and his family believed it was more important for him…
