I grew up in Queens‚ N.Y. More specifically in a town called College Point. My early childhood education was memorable. I can still recall every one of my elementary school teachers. My fifth grade teacher‚ Mr. Verrilli‚ was one of my favorite teachers. He encouraged his students to excel academically.

Here I was about to sit down for 12 hours‚ looking into a screen in front of me. You know‚ I was actually excited for this ride-- watching movies‚ playing games‚ eating food. (Those are some reasons why I like riding on a plane‚ it’s like you’re at a movie theater for the whole day‚ having everything to yourself‚ having food being served to you.
