<p>Hello. My name’s Kate Lutsenko, I’m a russian girl of 16. I live in a not well-known country, in the town of Zarafshan. And I have a big dream. I wanna study in the USA. For the first moment my parents heard about it they laughed and said to me it’s funny. But that wasn’t funny, that was attractive. I kept the wish in spite of their jokes and began learn english by myself, for there was no teacher who could teach me american english and prepare for TOEFL here. I don’t know the language well enough yet, but i’m still learning. I guess i’ll be able to pass TOEFL when it’s my time to pass. I wouldn’t mind if anyone wanted to teach me somehow, probably to share some useful links with me, or just talk to me here to improve my skills.</p>
<p>I’m going to enroll in 2012, but my family has not much money. And education in the states costs too much for an international student, I think. This is the main reason I have not chosen a college yet. I cannot find the most affordable college for me by myself. There’re too many colleges in the USA and only a few are cheap enough for me… And not any college offers financial aid to international students. This is also make me thinking of where i can get money.</p>
<p>What about me:
I have been learning english for 9 years at school, but to be frank, I’ve got not much knowledge from there, because our teachers often changed and english was not the major subject. But I’ve spent almost 2 years to improve my english by myself. I’m an active and bright person. I know russian fluently, know english well, and a little speak uzbek. Also I learn Spanish now, but my knowing this language is little yet. I like acting and skating. I’m doing well in Maths, Russian, English, Literature, Geometry, Computer Sciences, and Physics. I like drawing and writing, I’ve written some stories and poems in russian, and now I try to write in english. I also go to “The English Speaking Club” in our town. Our club is a place, where some people gather together, including me, and we all talk about different things in our world, like family, friendship, socializing and social problems, money, education, entertainment, ect. </p>
<p>I’m interested in psychology and wanna work with teenagers. Why this? Because I’m a teenager myself and I met some problems of young generation and it was very difficult to solve them without help. I needed someone to help me in that time, not my mommy, but school psychologists in my town didn’t have any interest in teenagers’ problems, as they do now. I wanna be a person, who can help a teenager to understand him/herself and realize how to solve all the problems. </p>
<p>But I’m not sure if i can be such person… And, if you have any ideas about what I better should choose to learn with my current knowledges, Ill be grateful to look at them. Write to me, please. I need your advices.</p>
