I currently live in the South Loop with my mother and two pets. One dog and one cat that are particularly annoying at 6 in the morning, regardless of the day of the week, but give lots of love and affection. Since i was a little kid i have always traveled with my mom and met people from all over the world. We once owned a house in Mexico that was built by my grandfather and traveled there a lot before i started kindergarten. Partially due to the fact everyone in my family has some slightly big-shot job - lawyers, judges, dentists, doctors, in television production - and partially due to the fact my mother is a Jewish parent, the expectations on me to be great are high. Because I've always been motivated to be great i decided to be a diplomat of a foreign country which is why i'm currently studying Japanese, Chinese and Hebrew. The Hebrew is because my mom speaks it almost fluently an we want to travel to Israel together soon. But because I'm trying to be a diplomat I spent the past two summers in Japan studying and next summer i plan to go to China. However, if being a diplomat fails, I've decided I'll go into stand up comedy. I think i would have a real talent for it.
