I was born and raised in Switzerland until I was 6 years old. My mother divorced my father and moved us to Florida and I spent the rest of my youth in Orlando.

After I left, my mother spoke English to us and I lost much of my native tongue. I still speak a lot of German, but not Swiss German! People always tell me a real Swiss speaks Swiss German. I find it way to hard to talk in the goofy accent with all the weird words :(.

*Sigh* I guess I'll never be a REAL Swiss.
