Eugenio García says his twin brothers Hector Miguel and Hector Eduardo are very different. He feels fortunate to be their brother.

Whenever we talk about twin brothers, we think they are the same, buty sometimes they might be physically the same but have two very different personalities. I would like to talk about my two fraternal twin brothers and how they are different.

Their names are Hector Miguel and Hector Eduardo. They were born in Monterrey, Mexico and grew up in a small town in the north of Mexico called "Muzquiz" where they lived for eighteen years. They both have the same first name because of my father, and their middle name stands for my grandparents' names, but they always go by their nicknames Gordo and Guero.

Gordo means chubby because Hector Miguel has always been physically big, and Guero stands for blond because when Hector Eduardo was a kid, he used to have blond hair. During their childhood, they used to spend a lot of time together and have the same things such as toys, games, clothing, bicycles, motorcycles, and go carts. That was great because I had to opportunity to inherit a lot of things from them.

Even though they are twins, they have very different personalities. Hector Miguel is more likely to be an introvert. He likes to spend his free time with family and very close friends, talks and parties less, and is more reserved, serious and formal. Hector Eduardo is an extrovert. He is the life of the party and is very outgoing. He likes to make new friends and always makes them feel comfortable. He is still single and likes to travel around the world.

There is this funny story about the two of them. When they were studying in Monterrey, friends used to call them and ask for Hector, but they did not know there were two Hectors. As their voices are very similar, they used to play jokes in an honest way.

Another thing I like about having older twin brothers is that they usually give me good advice and protect me all the time from other people. They both are very smart, hard working, optimistic. They are excellent brothers.
