About the Author
Hmm something about me. I am a Junior at Baruch College yay! one more year to go!, also. I grew up in Moscow, to those of you that dont know your Geography it is the capital of a huge country called Russian :). First of all lets get all the stereotyping aside, It is not cold all year around, we have TV's, cars , etc, and no we are not all naturally smart! With that out of the way I m ready to tell you my story. My family and I moved here in May 14, 2001, it was done with deceive! My mom told me we were taking a little vacation just like we did every summer and any long break I had off from school. I was very exited about the trip which caused me to be blind to the fact that my mother planned to move to U.S. When we arrived we went everywhere! Statue of Liberty, Empire State building, you name it we saw it. After my vacation began to come to an end my mother decided to reveal her evil plan. She told me that we are not going back. I was devastated, but there was nothing I could do since I was only 13 yrs old at a time. She enrolled me in New Utrecht High School located in Bay ridge.After graduating I ended up right here in Baruch. I love this school, maybe because im part of tennis team which creates "family" like bond. And as any other college student i like to enjoy my life and go out with my friends

speak for urself, it is always cold in russia, we didnt have tv's and cars were only avaliable for the wealthy, please kep in mind that altho i might be slightly joking u did live in the capital, so you had it better then anyone, these colde temps and lack of technological advances was more of an isuue for the rest of russia, such as siberia and smaller less developed areas.
A.J. is right, the United States of America "is still the place where people come to make it."
The streets in America were not paved with gold. The "streets" were not paved at all, and I was expected to pave them.
Thank you for sharing. I wish someday we all going to make it. In the mean time, I am very happy that I can have the opportunity to learn along with a group of world class and brilliant fellow classmates. I hope we can learn a lot in this class together as well as from each other.
You did not mention what your name is in this post, but that is ok. I agree with you, family is very important.
