Home is where the heart is, and they have mine!

About Me

I am a true Nuyorican from Brooklyn, NY; and somehow found myself transplanted here in Nashville with several of my closest friends. lol As far as what I look like, just take a look at my pictures. My personality? Spunky, silly, smart, sweet, somewhat sophisticated, and sincere. I am also pretty blunt, but generally in a nice way. I appreciate honesty and people that are upfront. I am most hurt when I feel someone is trying to hide something from me, or trying to save my feelings. I am proud (most Puerto Ricans are! lol) and I love my family and friends.Singing is my life. If I am not singing, then I am not happy (unless, of course, it's because I am trying to protect my vocal cords heehee). I am a part of several bands....fleau (pronounced "flow"), a trip-hop band; Trabuko, a salsa band; and the Music City Samba band!!! Currently, working on something else, but that's kind of underwraps.Teaching is the other part of my life. I am a 1st Grade ELL (English Language Learners) teacher!! I love, love, love my job!! I love my kids, too!I love hanging out with people: talking, laughing, playing games, going salsa dancing. I love music! All kinds; don't really have a true, favorite genre. My favorites change with each day. One day I love jazz; the next day I'm all about pop; the next day I'll be in the mood for classical music; and then the next day I just want to hear some salsa!! See! No favorites...music-wise that is!! I do have a favorite BASEBALL TEAM. Everyone who knows me, knows that it's the YANKEES!!! GO Yanks!!!!!Well, I could go on, but I've got to leave some mystery! Hit me up if you get the chance!! God bless!!!In His grace, Marisol
