A Pioneer Never Quits

Arnold Schwartzenneger: born from Austria, Germany on July 30, 1947. He has become an inspiritation not in only my eyes, but many others. Just a boy in Austria, he was sometimes picked on and shoved around, not for long. He started taking an interest into bodybuilding and won the junior Mr. Europe at the age of eighteen during his service of germanys required one year army servitued. He was held in jail for one week after becoming AWOL to go to the competion. Wanting to go to America, he decided to try to win Mr. Universe. He moved to the United States at the age of 21 in September 1968. He became the youngest person to win Mr. Universe at the age of twenty. He continued to win Mr. Universe four more times. Now having won Mr. U, he wanted to become the greatest so he wanted to become Mr. Olympia. He tried once 1969 but lost to three-time champion Sergio Oliva. He came back the next year and one the title at the age of 23, a record he still holds to this day. He then came to win the tile six consecutive times. In 1975 he announced his retirement from bodybuilding to persue his true dream of becoming the worlds greatest movie star.
