Hello guys. As all of you may know, my name is Denitsa Veselinova Kurteva... okay, not a lot of you know my actual name. But yes, that is how long it is. It's Bulgarian.
Now I've told this story about 1,733,529 times since I was 10 years old, but I guess I'm going to tell it again. I was born in Sliven, Bulgaria. In 2001, my parents registered for a green card and since it randomly chose families, we were ecstatic when we were the one who got the green card to go to America. It was honestly like winning the lottery. So in the summer of 2002, my mother, sister, and I left our apartment in Sliven, our whole family, and our beloved country to go to the "land of opportunity" (my dad went 2 months before us so he could find an apartment for us to live in). We settled in Florida and I started school in September. I didn't know any English and I felt just plain stupid when I couldn't interact with other students or at least know what they were saying. Nevertheless, my mom taught me English at home from old Bulgarian-English books from... you guessed it, Bulgaria. And after 5-6 months, I knew how to speak English fluently. To this day, I still know how to speak, read, and write Bulgarian only because I still practice it. I still visit my family in Bulgaria about every other summer.
So that is my life story I guess. So far, I am liking high school. Life's treating me pretty good and I've got nothing to complain about. :) I don't quite know what my interests are; I'm one of those 'still undecided' kids. So if you have any questions to ask or if you would like to comment, please do so underneath. :) Thanks for reading! Have an awesome day GUYS. STAY AWESOME :D Chyea.
What a terrific intro! I believe you may be the first person that I've met from Bulgaria. So honored that you and your family have chosen the US to call home.
