Hey there!
I moved to America from Russia over six years ago. I have lived in quite a few places and have seen quite a few things for my young age! Back in high school, I always loved the "nerdy" subjects and anything that was related to them. I even was a member of the high school robotics team where my friends and I have competed in the First Tech Challenge several years in a row and even won a couple of medals.
But I also was on my high school swim and water polo teams. In 2015 I participated in the Junior Olympics representing Rose Bowl Aquatic Center Water Polo Club located in Pasadena, CA. For those of you who don't know, water polo is a lot like a mix of soccer and drowning - always fun but can get intense very fast!
When I moved to Maryland with my family, I had to stop playing water polo because it was not so common here to have a high school team. I kept swimming and playing volleyball instead which really made my days more enjoyable and helped me find new friends in a new place.
I went to Montgomery College upon graduating from Walter Johnson High School and dedicated my first two years toward studying Psychology and Brain Sciences and later was accepted to UC Berkeley. I was so ready to go back to California but changed my mind last minute and transferred to the University of Maryland College Park instead where my interest in Psychology magically turned into a Mechanical Engineering major.
There were always a lot of things that interested me in life - that is why there was so much fluctuation in my commitments. But whenever I cared about something, I gave it my 100% and I hope that I can inspire you to do the same!
