I grew up going around with family, camping and living in a very beautiful mountain valley, knowing the names of the mountains and the rivers.

I think it gives a sense of space and a can-do-ness that was very powerful.

It's tough growing up where I grew up. My family is very small and really tight. Just being around the neighborhood, my brothers were always around.

My early childhood prepared me to be a social psychologist. I grew up in a South Bronx ghetto in a very poor family. From Sicilian origin, I was the first person in my family to complete high school, let alone go to college.
