CURRENT MISSION

Travel Europe with a buddy(Andrew) of mine this coming summer(2008)

ABOUT ME

Well where do I start? I was born in St. Petersburg Russia. Lived there for 10 years and after finishing 3rd grade my family and I moved to the U.S. As of right now I'm attending UNCC and studying pre-med(doctor). Let me tell studying to be a doctor is not fun. Since I was born outside the country I always had an affinity for traveling, but haven't really had the chance b/c of studies or summer jobs. This summer and a real close friend of mine, Andrew, are planning to do a Europe trip for about 2 and a half weeks.

PHILOSOPHY

Always be there for your family, friends and those in need.

Interests

You name it and I like it! But I am a big fan of mountain biking, traveling of course, worling hard, but also playing hard.

• culture
• traveling
• cycling
• history
• medicine

Music, Movies, and Books

Actually I will listen to just about anything. I love all types and music and keep my mind open to new ones.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I currently shadow an Orthopedic surgeon so I see surgeries that change peoples life's for the best and I think it is amazing that doctors can have such an impact on a persons life. This would be the main reason I am trying to be a doctor.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you all about Russia...hmm well up to a 3rd grade level of history :) I actually went back to Russia some 3 years ago and I was surprised that I still remembered a lot about the culture and way of life, so I would be more then happy to share my life in Russia and U.S. and how different it is.
