Going into a business education was a complete whirlwind
I never dreamed of developing professionally or
personally as much as I have grown in the McIntire School of Commerce
because the school does really prepare you
for being one of the best as soon as you get out into the real world
After graduation I will be going back to DC
to work for JP Morgan in the private bank as a financial analyst
My passion as a dancer started when I found that the dance floor was where
everything just disappeared for an hour or two hours or however long I was on it
The character, the willpower, and all that was ingrained into me by my parents
I started dancing at the age of 6 in Moldova
Life there was pretty hard , there were a lot of struggles as a family
Through a lot of hardship, a lot of volatility, my father got the chance to
have a job here in the United States
Seeing the risks that my dad took to come here
kinda makes me appreciate everything that he's done for us
When I first came to UVA, the grounds kinda welcomed me right away
I wanted to sit down on the lawn one day and just read for no reason or just study
There was much more of an emotional connection when I came to UVA than anywhere else
I'm looking forward to celebrating my graduation
by actually celebrating my parents in the process as well
I attribute most of my success to the hard work and the
determination that saw in them and that they've taught me along the way
