About Myself

My name is Anya. I am 18 years old. I was born in Ukraine. A year ago I have graduated from Gymnasium and decided to move to Kiev, the capital. Now I am the second year student of University. I study at the department of Linguistics. From my schools year I realized that humanities are easier for me. I also speak some foreign languages – English, Spanish, Latin, and some German.

At my childhood I was very curious and restless, though I still am. I was attending a ballet school and went in for swimming. Later I graduated from the modeling school and now I try to take part in different contests and shows.

In future I would like to get a higher education, work as a translator, and become a well-known model, though I don’t want to make a modeling career.

My zodiac sign is Gemini. It means that sometimes I might be changeable and I am always ruled by my emotions, but it doesn’t prevent me from being sociable and purposeful.

My hobbies are traveling, learning about culture and traditions of different countries. By present time I managed to visit France, Cypress, Egypt, Bulgaria, Tenerife island (Canaries), Croatia, Austria, Germany…

As I already mentioned, I am a very sociable person and that’s why I have many friends. The most of my leisure time I like to spend with them: visit cinema, café, discos, spend time on the nature.

But it was the way everything was happening until I got a boyfriend. Now if I have a free minute, I am always with him, no matter what is the weather like.

However, as the other people, sometimes I like to be alone, reading an interesting book, preferably a novel, maybe even in a foreign language, listening to the music, or just relaxing in the bed, watching TV and eating tasty things. I don’t hide the fact that I have a sweet tooth. Maybe only by 30 years I will start to look after my figure.

I think that the most important thing is to make one’s life as cheerful, interesting, and rich as it can be, and never dismiss anything.

It is significant for me that each day is spent as the last one.

Also I like to be taken pictures of, that’s why I have many different pictures of interesting moments.

Now I fill out the photo album devoted to my boyfriend and me, so that we will be able to remember our wonderful moments.

The Story About Me
and My View of Life

My name is Anna, though my friends simply call me Annie. I am 18, and now I’m the second year student of Academy. I was born in the in the south of Ukraine, but now I have come to “conquer” the capital.

Since school years I was attracted by exact sciences, that’s why my choice of the Financial Monitoring as a major was not accidental, as it is closely connected with the shadow sector of economy and the systems of “laundering” the money. Maybe somebody would consider that it is not the right occupation for a woman, but I think that risk is just what I need.

Besides everything, I am a creative person. I try to manage doing everything and everywhere. I was taking part in the city’s song contests, dancing, and also I won the main title “Miss Charm” at one of the beauty contests.

Generally I am attracted by all bright and exciting things, as my zodiac sign is Scorpio. Passion and love is exactly what I live for. Only my beloved man can make me really happy, but not money or fame. When I am surrounded by men, I want to become even more beautiful, perfect myself, become even better and even more charming.

In future I would like to organize my own business, maybe some original café, club, beauty salon, or even a geisha school. I can suppose that it might be a joint project with one of my bright and talented friends. In my friends I value devotion, reliability, honesty, and ability to support at a difficult minute.

In the nearest future I want to learn French – the language of love and learn a belly dance, as it makes a woman even sexier. I like learning something new – new knowledge gives me more and more advantages in any part of life. My motto is, “Learn and learn once again!” There are so many interesting things in life! Also I am attracted by other cultures, traditions. I would like to visit Venice – this wonderful city of romance and love, sail along the canals, admire the incredible architecture of cathedrals and ancient buildings.

Sometimes I get tired of noisy streets of Kiev and visit my parents in my native town with unique nature not far from the Black Sea. I really love sea, I like to listen to the rote – I think those are the most calming sounds of nature. Also I like to spend my leisure time with my friends on the nature, visit cozy cafes, or interesting events. I feel wonderful only when I am surrounded by interesting and bright people.

At present I enjoy youth and serene freedom and I don’t know what is waiting for me in future. I try to spend each day in an interesting and useful way. Each moment of my life is unpredictable. It might be joyful or sad, but it means that I am alive – and what can be more wonderful?!
