You have heard about the plight of orphans around the world

I was born in Odessa city in August of 2002. My grandmother took custody of me when I was 4 months old. We have been living together since. My mother died when I was three years old and I’ve never met my father.

When I was 4 years old I went to kindergarten and when I was 7 years old I went to the boarding school #5. I had been studying at school up to the 9th grade.

I had been doing Thai-boxing for seven years at school. During summer vacations I was working at the station of technical service. I helped my granny with household chores and in the back-yard. After the 9th grade I entered a maritime college #3 of Odessa National Law Academy.

This year I’m finishing the second year of studies and will start practicing at Odessa port. After graduating from the college, I want to enter Odessa Maritime Academy. After finishing my studies, I want to devote my life to sailing and traveling around the world.
