Introduction

Hello Lourdes,

My name is Yani Genesse and I was born here in Spain (in Figueres if you want to know) but my parents were both born and raisedd in a small village in Wenduine, Belgium. I played tennis so far as I can remember, so that influenced my life a lot. I play a lot of tournaments, mostly in summer. National tournaments such as International tournaments in France or other countries. This sport life I consider I have, implies a lot of important decisions and sacrifices for it, like sometimes my trainer doesn't want me to go out for some matches, but I always loved tennis anyway.
More about my family... We own two companies: a Butterfly Park near our school, in Castelló d'Empúries, where my dad mostly works, and a Minigolf, in Empuriabrava, where my mum and I mostly work. My mum and I work mostly in the Minigolf because it's were we live, our house is together with the company, so it's easier for us to work there.
Then, we have a parrot called Jako, a really nice parrot, we had three parrots in our lives and this one is the best one, he is very playful. And he is THE event of the minigolf for our clients, they all want to see him, or take a picture with him on their shoulder. He was always in the trees of the minigolf, he can't escape because because he never learned it, and, just the part of his wings that makes him fly, is cut. So, one night, three weeks ago, just before I began an International tournament, I was working in the minigolf, it was very busy so I was not even looking after Jako. Two hours later, my mum asked me to look for him, no Jako. We looked for him the whole night, we got up at five o'clock in the morning, when the sun was just getting up. But nothing, we didn't know anything about him, it was horrifying... The next day everyone in Empuriabrava knew he was gone, and I was on the way to France, very upset and sad. At night I almost couldn't sleep, I was thinking what could have happened to him... Every day I called my parents and they had no news. The last day, my dad calls me: I have good news, Jako is back. I said: What?! How?! I just couldn't believe it. After 5 nights away from home, he was back.
Okay, that was my introduction, see you!
