Hi everyone! My name is Khrystyna and I am originally from Ternopil, Ukraine, lived in Brooklyn for 15 years, and have recently moved to Staten Island. I have a younger brother (16 years old) and a younger sister (4 years). Secretly, I like my sister more. Most of my family lives back in Ukraine. I visit them during summer breaks. When I was younger, I

played soccer, volleyball, and danced different styles of dance. I did Ukrainian folk dancing up to my senior year in high school. Although it looks fun, it took a lot of hard work and rehearsal to get even 2 minutes of performance. I wish I had more time to start dancing again because it was a lot of fun and I met a lot of interesting people. I also love to cook and bake so I am always looking for new recipes to try so cooking websites are my second home.

I graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School and want to study biological sciences. I love learning about different family backgrounds and immigration because it helps explain the history and geography of historical places (like New York City)and the diversity behind them.
