Hi, I’m
Manuel Minaya I was born in Colombia in the city of Bogotá, I am 17 years old.
Since I was born I have lived on Bogotá in the locality of Kennedy with
my mom called Martha, my dad called Rodrigo, both are retired, and my brother
called Daniel, he’s studying physics with scholarship at the University Los
Andes, also with my pets, I have two dogs of breed Shih Tzu called Pepe and
Pancho, Pepe is 3 years old and Pancho is the son and is 10 months old. I´m
studying in José Max León school that it´s located in Cota, Cundinamarca, it´s
very far to my home.
When I am
in the school I like to play soccer and also hav fun with my friends, I am
not of that type of people that get angry on a match; I think it´s the most
unsporting that could be, because one of the reasons that makes me play it is
to get funny and goes against that. Also I like to play ultimate and I think
it's the sport in which I am better. When I go out with my friends my favorite
plans are playing soccer, ice skating, go to “ciclovia” and go to the “decima”
to eat “superchurro”. Since I was 13 years old I started to support Chelsea,
it´s a soccer team from London

About my
personality I can say I´m a person who likes to have few friends but are loyal
as I am with them, because I think that is the most important feeling in a
relationship. Actually I consider only 3 people as my friends that are Paola
Cubillos, Juan Camilo Sanchez; they study also in my school, and Andres
Carvajal that lives near to my home.
I think my
unforgettable moment in my life was when my parents decided to buy tickets for
travelling to Spain June 20th of 2010, when we arrived there, it was a
discouraging environment, all the Spanish people was too sad because Spain had
lost his first match in the tournament versus Switzerland in the world cup.
With the passage of the time that environment had changed because Spain had
been winning all the matches; When Spain classified to the final all the people
were happy all the people was screaming, singing and jumping in the streets
because of the happiness. July 11th arrived, and everyone has wearing the Spain
shirt, every one including me were nervous, the hour of the match has arrived
and no one was on the streets, everyone was with their family or their friends
on the house or a bar looking the match. I was concentrate looking the match
eating my nails when a screaming of everyone saying GOALLL scared me because
the signal of my TV was backward, the match is over and everyone started to
celebrate, I was feeling something that I had never had feel. everyone get out
to the street, everyone get out with their luxury cars and started to beep and
the people started to bullfight the cars with Spain flags, That moment was
unforgettable for me and I feel very lucky because the first time that I had
traveled on airplane, the first moment that I knew another country and the team
win the world cup, that was incredible.
