Oleksandra Prokhatska 14, female from Kyiv

My name is Sasha. I’m 14, and I live in Ukraine, in the city of Kyiv.  

I play a musical instrument and also dance. I love video games. 

My father passed away recently. 

I love Ukraine because it is my homeland. I love our culture and language.  

There is a war in Ukraine now, and it is terrifying. At school, we often sit in bomb shelters (in the basement).  

Americans help our country a lot, so I want to get to know American culture.
