Description: Isabel Cuervo has lived in Sunnyside since she was six, but had to travel halfway around the world before she could appreciate the neighborhood. Growing up as the daughter of a Colombian single mother in a one-bedroom apartment wasn't easy. Isabel was not allowed to play on the street or walk to school by herself because her mother was "overprotective." She often dreamed of owning one of the "pretty, little houses" beyond Skillman Avenue, the virtual border that still largely separates the working class from the middle class.
