One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It is definitely coming to US. I've been born and raised in Ukraine and moved with my mom to New York only when I was 14. It was a challenging and life changing experience. I've learned a new language, met new people and most importantly saw the world differently.
The second one is deciding to go to study abroad in Paris. Once again, moving and changing but also this time, being an adult already, feel in control. It is fascinating how many opportunities are open ahead of me.
