Pedro Romero

“Romero never made any contortions, always it was straight and pure and natural in line. [...] Romero’s bull-fighting gave real emotion, because he kept the absolute purity of line in his movements and always quietly and calmly let the horns pass him close” (Hemingway, 171) 

                Hola, my name is Pedro Romero. You may know me from my days as a bullfighter. Those days are long behind me as I am writing this, but to think of those days brings me much joy. All of my practicing, my passion, my love for the bulls and the fights had led me through an amazing career I could never forget. I was always standing up straight, my cape never wrinkled, waiting for the bull to attack. The audience was always so nice to me, I could never ask for better fans. The people during the festival were so lively and excited! While the festival is a huge part of my career, it took me a very, very long time to get there. I will never forget the hardships and struggles of training with the deadly bulls when I was first starting out. I was never perfect, I never got to be perfect, but to be out there doing the best I could with the bulls was all I needed.
