Hello, everyone!

I am a Children and Youth Studies major. Originally I started as a Finance major but after I started working at a daycare 3 years ago, I realized that I love working with children, so I decided to change my major. This is my last year at Brooklyn College and after I graduate, I plan to go to Touro College for my master’s degree in Early Childhood Education. Here are some interesting facts about me:

• I grew up in Ukraine. My mom used to read to me different Ukrainian stories and poems that I loved! I think that is where my love for reading came from. My favorite story was called “Kolobok”. It is somewhat similar to “The Gingerbread Man”. I enjoyed when my mom used to read it to me!
• After I moved to the United States, I found out about a lot more childhood stories that were very popular here. One of my favorite childhood book from here is “Winnie the Pooh” by A. A. Milne! I just loved reading his stories and I am still a huge fan of Winnie the Pooh!
