So, I was growing up being a pretty wimpy kid. You see, I prefered to spend my time on the couch reading sci-fi books and listening to obscure music. My world was much pretty within the limits of our apartment. Therefore, my life in junior high wasn't a piece of cake. My neighbourhood was pretty much your average working class one, so a vastmajority of kids would spend their time playing soccer. I didn't.
But by the time I was about to graduate, everything changed. I crawled out of my shell more and more just to discover that the world was full of beautiful girls, fast cars, fine restaurants and some other attractive things I didn't have. I decided to change my ways; and by the time I graduated I even had a few good friends who were "cool" in everybody's opinion ( ha-ha-ha). What a bunch of losers they were.
It was the time to think of my future career, so I've decided to become an electrical engineer, so I've got into Electrical Engineering Institute (a.k.a. University) of Leningrad, a very prestigious school I must tell you. And the next 2 years I was a subject to the various torture tactics employed by the faculty of that educational facility. However, very soon I realized that I was really going nowhere, and my only prospect after graduation was poverty and misery You see, the communists really twisted the way of thinking in Russia, so being a gangster or a thief is much more respectable then being an excellent scholar.
Realizing this, me and my family decided to get the hell out there and move to the States. Seeing people that I knew dropping out of school just to become car salesmen or smugglers was very depressive. So on the 31st of December of 1993 we arrived to Los Angeles after being harrassed and put down by the customs employees of Russia that were probably thinking that we were smuggling the world famous Hat of Monomach ( old Russian king ).
So from that point on my life became very much only studying and working, which I think will be very rewarding one day. To be more precise, I hope so......
