What first comes to
my mind when I think about this question is, that it is not as easy
as it seems to define one's own identity. No matter what I might say
about myself, as soon as pronounced, it would slip away and cause an
unpredictable process of judgment in other people's minds.
Nevertheless, in the following passage I would like to present some
key points that are of importance to me and shaped my life as such.
I
was born in 1991
in Saratov, which
is a Russian town on the Volga river and has a
population of
about 840,000 people. At the age of five
I emigrated to Germany with my parents and my elder
brother. Since my parents have always
been speaking
Russian at home, I had the chance
to grow up in a bilingual environment, so
that I am speaking Russian and German fluently now. I
went to school in
Bavaria and after finishing my “Abitur“, I registered at the
Ludwig Maximilian University of
Munich in Pharmacy.
I have been studying there
for one year, when
I decided to go
to Graz and study medicine. I am in my fourth year of studies now
and in the next two years I hope to be able to finish my doctor's
degree.
Apart from my
dedication to natural sciences since school time, I have always been
interested in studying foreign languages. At the age of 14 I started
to teach myself Spanish and two years later Portuguese. That is why I
decided to register for English, Spanish and Russian at the
Department of Translation in Graz in 2012 and improve my language
skills. Two years ago I decided to choose Arabic and Chinese, too.
Besides, I enjoy
dancing a lot. I have been doing ballet since the age of seven.
Later I did jazz dance and some more modern styles such as salsa, but
unfortunately I had to reduce it for different reasons. However,
dancing just makes me feel happy and relaxed and takes away the
stress of the day.
I
hope you have a broad overview now and maybe if you want to find out
more you can check my blog which is called EvNGL!$H13.
