Meet the Educators
Gabriel Quinones "GQ"
If you could choose another profession, what would it be and why?
Event planning. I’m not sure successful I would be but creating a space where memories can take place is something I’d love to be a part of. I already know how to deal with people lol.
The most important material possession I have
A ring my sister wore. I wear it now on a necklace.
Sum up the Internet in one sentence
A search engine and a platform.
What, besides money, do you never have enough of?
I never have enough TIME. I can’t buy it, I can’t create it, but I do my best to utilize it!
If you could play a song every time you enter a room, what would it be and why?
All I See (Darius Remix) by Bondax. This seems to be the song that my crew plays when they want me to get in a great mood.
Cecilia Gracia “Ceci”
If you could choose another profession, what would it be and why?
I would be a lawyer. That was actually my other career choice, but my dad didn’t let me go out of state to college. I love helping people and I feel I would do great at defending those who are actually innocent.
What’s your go-to guilty pleasure?
Taking naps! I love taking naps when possible. I’ll put my daughter down for a nap so I can take one too.
What, besides money, do you never have enough of?
Time! I feel I never have enough time to do everything I want to do. Spending time with my kids and working take up my life.
Would you rather go 30 days without your phone or your entire life without dessert?
I’d rather go 30 days without my phone. Dessert is life! I couldn’t give up pan dulce at all.
Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?
In 10 years, I see myself enjoying the fruits of my labor. I’d like to own five more shops and a barber/beauty school that focuses not just on state board test items but on day-to-day fundamentals.
Ernie Salazar “Chato the Barber”
What’s the first thing you’d buy if you win the lottery?
I would buy stocks/shares in Apple
What’s the most important material possession you have
My wife and family are the reasons I wake up and what keep me pushing forward every single day.
What would the title of your memoir be?
Chingon de Chingones
If you could choose another profession, what would it be and why?
I’d be a professional boxer. I love the adrenaline and the discipline of a fighter.
Sum up the internet in one sentence
A gift from the gods to communicate with other creators beyond earth.
