I was born in 1989 in Tashkent, Uzbek SSR, USSR, which gained independence after the collapse of the Soviet Union and became Uzbekistan. I'm fluent in Uzbek, Russian and English. I'm currently learning Arabic. In 1996 I went to a Russian school in Tashkent. After completing my ninth grade, I moved to the United States in 2004 to live with my mother, a doctor who moved to New York back in 2000 in search of a better life. Moving to the US was one of the biggest challenges in my life since I moved to a completely different country with a different culture, language, and people. A week after arriving in New York, my mother sent me to a public High School in Long Island City. Leaving my family and all of my relatives and closest friends that I grew up with and finding myself in a public high school in one of the less appealing areas of Queens with no spoken English was how my life in America began. Although various barriers that I faced made it very difficult to adjust, all those challenges only gave me strength and helped me get where I am now. After attending Long Island City High School for almost a year (thanks to the only person who put up with my broken English and gave me the motivation to study and do well, my mathematics teacher Mr. Dr. Daniel Lewis), I managed to get into Loyola School in Manhattan, with the help of a very close family. Although I faced even more challenges, and my struggle was not close to being over, going to Loyola helped me learn a lot and get into the George Washington University, where I'm currently majoring in Computer Science and International Business. I'm interested in technology, politics, psychology, sociology, philosophy and theory, music, cooking, filmmaking, bodybuilding, soccer, mixed martial arts, and more. If you want to know more about me, feel absolutely free to ask me, and I'll do my best to respond.
Thanks for your time.
