I'm Riding For

George Lopez

My father enjoyed swimming, cycling, and soccer, among other sports. He was a Mexican cyclist who won first and second placed in cycling competitions. My father was not only a great athlete, but also a great father and wonderful person with a lovely heart who was always willing to help others. He was the oldest of twelve siblings and always watched over his mother, siblings, and family with much love. He was an optimistic individual who never gave up on his aspirations and remained positive in difficult moments. No matter how difficult his goals would be he worked hard to achieve them. His determination inspired others around him, and he often encouraged me to pursue my own passions with the same fervor. Through his example, I learned many values of life and the value of perseverance, consistency , working with love, determination, and the importance of supporting others in their journeys. He will always live in our hearts and his kind heart and good humor will not be forgotten.
