Gissel - I grew up in the Bronx in a Dominican and Colombian household. Spanish was always spoken at home. I learned English when I started going to school at around the age of 5. I am fluent in both languages. I took 3 years of French in high school, however, I never continued to practice it. I regret not taking French in college.

I grew up on Long Island hearing Italian at home. When I was in elementary school I wondered into a "gifted and talented" class because the elementary school had no walls and I wanted to see what the kids in that class were painting.. I felt sad that I could not do it because I was just a bad kid that escaped my other classroom.
