Dasha Vlasenko 15, female from Chernihiv

My name is Dasha, I’m 15 years old, I’m in the 9th grade, I really want to become a landscape designer, I have a lot of friends, I like to draw, walk, I used to play sports, I like to play volleyball, about my parents, my mother is in the hospital. We communicate very well, but about my dad, I don’t remember him at all, I have a stepfather, with whom we are on excellent terms, I have two older sisters, the eldest has a son, and yes, I’m already an aunt. I live with my grandmother and stepfather in the village, I’ll soon move from them to my sister because of my studies, the war changed my life, I’m afraid for my life, it’s very scary when there’s a siren, I can’t walk normally and my nervous system has collapsed, I always cry when I see people dying, my stepfather is in the war and I am almost always in a depressed mood. I imagine that when I go to America I will find friends with whom I will communicate in the future, and in order to come to them in the future, I also imagine that I will learn English and be able to communicate freely and find myself and understand what I like and so on further, although I have a lot of friends, I hardly communicate with anyone because there are insults directed at me, I have a half-sister who has become my only friend in my entire life. I also like to listen to music, especially English, it’s difficult for me to communicate in English, but I will be very glad if I go to America, this is my dream, thank you for organizing this, I never thought that I would have such an opportunity.
