I was born in Russia. I came here four years ago and started a new life. I was twenty and it was very hard for me to adapt to a new country. Everything was new and different: language, culture, people, mentality, and even food. 

     To start school here in the US was not easy for me because I had to start from just taking English classes. Now I am in my second year of my Business Marketing major. I also have a degree from Russian University with credits that I am planning on transferring to a four year college. Johns Hopkins University is my dream university and my short term goal is to get a masters degree from the JHU. Due to my lofty aspirations I am trying to obtain as concise of an education as I can get.
