What's a fun fact about yourself?

My family is originally from Argentina, I was born in Israel, and we moved around North America, including Toronto, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia before I finally settled in Washington, DC. As a result, I have been fortunate to be fluent in Spanish, Hebrew, and English. My college admissions essay was about what language I dream in!
