Today I was asked about my residence history and challenged on the fact that I have lived in Torrance for 11 years.
Here is my story...
I originally moved to Torrance in 1977 at the age of 6 and attended 5 years of Seaside Elementary School. We later moved back to Italy for three years and soon enough moved back to Torrance as we realized Italy was no longer for us. That is when I enrolled at South High School. The family only after a couple of years moved to South Redondo Beach where my parents built their dream home and it's where they continue to live to this day. As for myself I didn't move back to Torrance until 2003 (old Torrance). I later moved to San Pedro and lived in a three unit building that we owned. After getting married and getting pregnant with our first child, we decided to raise our family where we felt most comfortable and at home, Torrance. Torrance is my home, it's where I spent my early childhood years, it's where I learned my first English words, it's the place I first rode a skateboard and fell off of one as well. Torrance has given me everything a person could ever want and all I want to do is give something back.
