Hello there! My name is Anastassiya and I'm 18 years old. I'm a Russian girl from Moscow, but I've been living abroad for the past few years with my family. We moved to New York City when I was just a teenager, so I have kind of a mix of both cultures in me.
I remember growing up in Russia, surrounded by beautiful Orthodox churches and bustling streets filled with life. My family lived in a cozy apartment building near the Kremlin, and I spent most of my childhood playing with my friends in the parks nearby.
But when we moved to America, everything changed for me. The city was so much bigger and faster-paced than what I was used to, but I quickly fell in love with it all - from the bright lights of Times Square to the peaceful green spaces of Central Park.
At home, I'm still learning how to navigate my own identity as a Russian-American girl growing up in America. My family is always pushing me to be strong and independent, just like they are. But sometimes I feel like I'm caught between two worlds - the old world of Russia, where tradition and culture reign supreme, and the new world of America, where everyone seems so free and expressive.
But even though it can be tough navigating all these different cultures, I love being a girl from Russia living in America. There's just something about being from a place with such rich history that makes me feel like there's so much more to life than what meets
