Anyone who knows me knows that I don’t like my last name. In addition to bringing a phonetic discomfort to my ears, he talks so little about me. Whose I am. From my story. I really like Juan, although there are several in the world, this is unique. In fact, the last name tells the story of my father and family. My father is called Aceino Freitas, but many know him as the “Popó”. He is a great reason for pride for Brazil, for the world, because it was with a lot of struggle that he was able to consecrate the four -time unified boxing champion and become this world idol, as well as record holder for 29 consecutive knockouts, with 41 wins of 43 FIGHTS. But this does not even compare the greatest struggle he has ever faced: poverty. He slept on the floor from home until he was 23 and fought hunger and all the difficulties that social vulnerability could bring. My father is very proud. Who knows him, knows the person he is. Even with all the adversities of life he maintained faith, claw, determination and humility. He has transformed the reality of my whole family and allowed us to believe in a better future.>

And, not ironically, it was when he hugged me because he is who I am, who finally connected ourselves as father and son. This attitude was of such humor that, without it, I would not arrive so far. Our relationship was marked by ups and downs, but all we went through was to strengthen us and get to that moment. What happened has been forgiven and what is to come will be celebrated. ”>
