An interesting fact about me is that many of my friends are not aware that I was born and adopted in Ukraine at the age of 5. Therefore when I came to America I had to relearn a new language, develop social skills, and even go through therapy and be assisted by teacher's aids. I have always been interested in my country and have taken deep pride for where I was from. I have always loved learning about the history of Ukraine and became interested in specifically Ukraine's push for Independence against the Russians. I am now 18 so I have been in America for 13 years and have fully developed the American traditional values. I however wish to go back to Ukraine and see the orphanage that I was in, and what it was like. I stayed back in first grade because I never developed the language fully. However after reading many books and communicating with other people I was able to learn the new language.
