Natasha TerekhovaHi, my name is Natasha Terekhova. This school helped me learn so much since I was in kindergarten! Russian was my first language, so it was tough for me to learn English, but with the help of my brother, my parents and my teachers, I became bilingual. I live in Longmont, Colorado, with my mom, my dad and my 18 year-old brother, Kuzya. This year, I am going to be a seventh grader and it will be my first year in journalism, which I hope will be a great experience for me. My hobbies are reading, writing, drawing, watching movies and playing volleyball. My favorite five things in the world are my family, my friends, Star Wars, the outdoors and the Harry Potter book series.
