He misses going to his grandma’s house and playing games with his cousins. His favorite childhood cartoon was Tom and Jerry. Bumblebee from Transformers was his favorite toy that he still has it til this day. “The most embarrassing moment from my childhood was that I ran into a mirror once at store. A memorable moment has to be getting my first football hit,” Varela said.
