Video I have been trying all weekend to get the better quality video up, but it just refuses to. This is a lower quality one, but it gets the job done. I am still going to try to put the better quality video up.

It has been an interesting three years of high school, but let’s start further back. My family came from Ukraine in 1992 and moved to Erie, Pennsylvania. I’ve attended the same small school since kindergarten and have had the same best friend since the first day of kindergarten. My school was the kid of school were you’ve had the same friends since elementary school and graduate with them your senior year. Additionally, it was the kind of school where you knew everyone and everyone’s siblings in every grade, and with every year you became closer friends with everyone. My friends back home in Fairview, PA have made all the difference in my life. They have always been my motivation to wake up in the morning and go to school and make it through the awfully dull classes and the northern lake effect snow winters, where eight feet of snow does not get you a two hour delay. Furthermore, cold winters meant hot drinks, and no place in the world compares to Tim Horton’s Coffee. Timmy’s is a huge part of my life because I love coffee, and it was the place me and my brother would go everyday when he picked me up from work. Two café mochas and two chocolate dip donuts and we always paid less than $5, but back to the important things. I have the best friends in the world, and of course, they have me! With my friends, there are no restrictions. We tell it how it is and have a great time doing it. Bonfires have been a favorite activity in our backyards. My neighbors were simply some of my best friends including their parents. However, my family has probably made an even bigger impact on my life. I can still remember the day I met my cousin Igor when his family and he moved to America. He is one of the most important people in my life. We do some of the most insane things together like driving around Presque Isle with windows down and music blaring all while wearing sombreros and fedoras. I even spent my last night in Erie with him, my brothers, and my cousin Alex at my job of 2 ½ years. My life in Fairview, PA was amazing, and I miss it with every passing day, but I am also moving on, though I wish I could be in several places at once. On June 13th, 2010, we left our home and moved to Cary, NC, the reason being my niece, Amelia. Most people laugh and ask for the real reason, but that’s it. I wasn’t exactly excited to move, but I have made some of the greatest friends down here at school and work. I haven’t lost sight of my old friends though. I still skype with them, and some have even visited me down here. Although the coffee down here it, other things have made living here pretty worthwhile. I get to see my beautiful niece Amelia whenever I want to, I went to a Snoop Dogg concert, and we finally had the time to go to Mexico. When I walked in the doors of Green Hope, I could not wait to get out. I am even graduating early because of it; however, it hasn’t been awful. I think my favorite thing about this place and school has been my chorus class. I have made such amazing friends in that class and wish I wasn’t leaving so soon. Even though I haven’t known them my entire life, we are still great friends and hopefully will be. As for the rest, we’ll have to see where life takes me.
