school called Valeria montrex.
Physically, he feels very well since he is a dedicated athlete, so he takes great

dressing style since he wears loose and very elegant clothes.

with others, he is an honest, responsible, friendly person, the truth is I can't say

supported each other in different circumstances, that's why I consider him a great
friend.
