I'm Jane. My real name is Nomin Erdenebat. I'm from Ulaanbaatar and grew up in a traditional Mongolian family with my parents and younger brother. We lived on the outskirts of the city where we had our own small farm and animals to take care of. It was a simple but happy life.
As a child, I loved playing outside with my siblings and exploring nature around us. My mother would always make sure I wore traditional Mongolian clothes like the deel and boots even when I went out to play. She thought it important for me to know our cultural heritage. I had a small group of friends who were also from my neighborhood, and we'd spend hours playing games together or riding horses.
When I turned 18, my family moved to the city so that my brother could go to school there. We lived in a small apartment near the university where he studied engineering. It was quite different from our old life but I enjoyed it because of all the new people and experiences I had. But after finishing high school, I decided to move back out to the countryside with my family. My parents were happy for me to be close again, but my brother didn't want to leave the city. He stayed there after graduating from college.
