Economist, registered Suma cum laude at INTEC, who watches over with respect, quality and consistency in her work and in bowling, a sport whose refined game has caused the national song to be sung. These attributes conjugate much of the life of Virginia Bello.
Oh, also and without perhaps the most transcendental thing in her earthly career and which become her two most appreciated trophies, she plays a fundamental role as the mother of Enrique Galván Bello (10 years old) and Daniel Enrique Galván Bello (3 years old).
Of the various perfect games they have thrown in a bowling career that spans more than 20 years, bringing Enrique and Daniel into the world represent the two achievements that have given them the greatest emotions in their lives and for which they battle every day. and he strives to improve himself, in order to maintain great family stability.
Although her working day starts very early as an adviser at the Ministry of Finance and then attends training sessions or games at the Sebelen Bowling Center, Bello does not negotiate taking her children to school every day and never goes to bed without giving her a kiss on the forehead to each of his offspring.
Daughter of Virginia Mejía, one of the pioneers in the female part of bowling in the country, the gold medalist in the VII Ibero-American of this discipline held in the country in 2018, remembers that she went hand in hand with her mother to the missing Bolerama Naco, but without imagining that at some point he would fall in love with this sport as much as he has ever since.
“This represents a great challenge to be able to deal and do it with the height of all the roles that we carry out at a professional level, as a mother, also to be and maintain ourselves as a high-performance athlete,” said Bello, who last year won the silver medal in the national bowling championship organized by the federation of this entity, in addition to an individual gold as a member of the Air Force in the Military Games.
But as if playing a match of doubles or triples, Bello is aware that these roles would never materialize without teamwork.
That is why when she has international tournaments at her government institution, where she currently holds the position of Economics advisor and has worked for the last 20 years, she has always had bosses, who have always offered her support.
Likewise, when she has to leave the country, she has had her husband (Enrique Galván Brito), mother, in-laws, who take care of her two children and therefore allow her to represent the national colors with height, as happened in 2015 when In the women’s Pan American, together with Aumy Guerra, she achieved the country’s classification for the Pan American Games that were held that year in Toronto.
Although, despite achievements that cause joy, sometimes she thinks that at some point she has failed and that her children need her more.
But there are also dates for them that are non-negotiable, such as their birthdays, some meetings and festivities in their schools. In these events I am there with both of them every time, as well as the weekends he dedicated to both of them and the family in general”, he expresses just minutes before carrying out a day in which he would form a pairing with the veteran Rosanna García in the Super League Friends, who every Wednesday plays in the bowling alley.
“Bowling, more than a sport, is like a family gathering, a lifestyle, you meet many people, you have the opportunity to develop yourself and if you reach a good status you can be part of the team and therefore travel,” he says.
One of his most pleasant moments was when once Don Rolando Sebelén, immortal of Dominican Sports, called his house and told his mother Virginia: “Look, I want to play mixed with Virginita.” At that time, she was a “newbie” of about 15 years old and she got nervous when she heard those words from the so-called father of bowling in the country.
The achievements and promotions at work, being part of the national bowling team for a long time, has not prevented Virginia from getting outstanding grades also in caring for her children, who, despite the time she is away, never gets out of touch with her parents. two loved ones
