November 28, 1999, a baby was born in the slums of Kansk, and given to the local orphanage. In August of the following year, that child was adopted, and brought to Land of the Free, to the small state of Vermont, where she grew up loving maple syrup, Birkenstocks, and crunchy granola. Little did she know, at the mere age of eight, she would venture south, to Connecticut, to start school, and ultimately find her passion.

She enrolled herself at age three in the local ballet school, and has been dancing since. She started playing piano, and letting the beautiful artistic creativity flow through her small body.

In Connecticut, She continued her passion, while trying to find a home for her hunger of the arts. When she finally landed, she found not only her classmates, but her lifelong sisters, and friendly mentors. She established herself with a piano teacher, and was off and successful from the start.

In High School, and became a state leader of the Junior State, an active member of the Drama Club, and an honorable student.

Little did she know, that a country she was not native, would welcome her passion, and inspire her to become the next source of change she sees in the world. In this great country, she discovered her artistic style and exercised her First Amendment Right, where if she was still in her mother country, such a privilege is not available. American History became her strong suit, her interest, and inspiration for becoming active in the Government.

Little did she know, that if it weren’t for her removal of the country she was born, she would not be where she is today, and not be involved with her daily civic duties, and taking advantage of all the greatness the United States of America has to offer.

This girl, is myself, this girl went from nothing, to dreaming large, all thanks to a country she is proud to call her own.
