I have made it strong and gave me the opportunity to think more in myself ... I'm proud of what I did and even though the regret of not having expressed its full potential c'' is I end this experience with the hope of being able to convey to others the infinite passion for the sport that has given me so much and I took off. Thanksgiving more goes great with my parents because without them it would have been quite impossible, I did not miss anything and never have been, and are an important guide every day. Of course, a thank you goes to my family, to George, to my fan club, my friends and all the people who have placed their trust in me.
