 I was born on June, 19th, 1986. I graduated from Boarding School [Orphanage] #4 in the southeast of Moscow. Now I study in the College of Small Business. I like to draw, to dance, to sing, and to converse with others. I know the Swedish Language. (I have sponsoring mother in Sweden [part of a program in partnership with Orphanage #4, where young Swedish couples host orphans for several months of the year to provide a home-like experience for the children]. I’ve already gone to visit her in the summer and on winter vacations for many years.) I like to go to the Internet-cafe, to communicate with other people to learn a lot of new vocabulary in English. Earlier in my life, everything to me seemed very gloomy. I did not have friends; I considered the world a rigid and cold place. I like to do kind things. I wish to help other children who don’t have parents. I consider that, in comparison with the children who live in a boarding school, I am absolutely equal to them If I could change anything in the world, it would be: 1) that all were friends, and there was no war. 2) that parents did not cast their children away, and instead loved them. 3) that more studios, as "Maria's Children", were created around the world. 4) that children can get to know other words. The most useful thing I learned from being at the art studio was: how to be a friend in dialogue to understand others, and how I can help others when they are in need.If I have not got acquainted with studio, I fear I would have started to drink, to smoke, to accept drugs as OK, and I would’ve fallen into the paths of bad people. |
